About Me

I started writing songs when I was fifteen and I swear it's the only thing keeping me sane. My love for music has been inherited from my Father who as an artist himself has played many gigs in Britain and Europe. My Dad gave me all The Beatles albums when I was very young and to this day they still influence me. The breakthrough of Oasis in the 90's had a massive effect on me and the bands that followed also had a tremendous influence on my songwriting styles(Shed seven,Dodgy,Travis e.t.c ). As guitarist and songwriter of my band "The Little Kings" I discovered the addiction of live gigs. Playing some of the best unsigned showcases in the country we began to generate a large and loyal fan base and recorded our first E.P " Look For Someone else to blame". Only an illusion from the record reached number two in an unsigned chart for the whole of the U.K. After hundreds of gigs and nearly as many member changes we decided to call it a day. I then began playing acoustic songwriters showcases in London and the North West to keep me playing. I have recently formed a band with people who have helped me alot over the years. The band members, Alan Gregson, Norman Helm, Ian Blundell and Simon( Fez ) Allen have an extensive track record of touring and recording all over the world.
