born DERRY CITY , IRELAND JUNE 7 1961 the day John Coltrane released MY FAVOURITE THINGS - I am a guitarist / wordsmith / chanter of no fixed hairstyle - ex BAM BAM & THE CALLING and THAT PETROL EMOTION (now reformed!) and involved in some capacity with WAVEWALKERS / FIRETREE / THE JIMMY SAVILLE TERRITORIAL ARMY / DISCO-TENT (I played on their seminal recording "Now is the winter of our disco-tent"...A LITTLE BIT OF UH-HUH AND A WHOLE LOTTA OH YEAH!I no longer choose to define myself by what I don't like (as I did for so many years) but rather instead by what I LOVE... you could say that's a core part of the WAVEWALKER philosophy:LA VIDA ES AMAR ..! LA MUSICA ES AMAR ..! TOUJOURS L'AMOUR!What I'm attempting through the Wavewalker's words and music is to uplift your Spirit - in fact I'm COMMITTED to it - I'm down on the frown! - I'm looking for ALTITUDE not ATTITUDE... y'hear??I dig the beauty of spontaneity (SAHAJA) and the unwritten poetry of our everyday lives - the many, myriad amazing things we take for granted all of the time - the ocean / sunrise / sunset / breathing / friendship / a crimson gerbera flower / a clear,cloudless summer sky of endless blue azure... a half-remembered dream that makes you feel good the whole next day... simplicity... the innocence of children.... music / melody / rhythm / poetry / songs that send shivers up and down your spine... that make you remember / relive a beautiful lost moment in time... or rather help you to experience a true feeling of eternity... of true timelessness... of being part and parcel of a greater whole...I SING THE SPIRIT ETERNAL...the union (YOGA) of our individual self with the higher self...NOW is the time !!I believe with all my heart and soul that William Blake saw angels on Peckham Rye...."Kill therefore with the sword of wisdom the doubt born of ignorance that lies in thy heart. Be one in self-harmony, in Yoga, and arise, great warrior, ARISE.""KNOW THYSELF"
