About Me

I play guitar with a band called The Early Years and play alot of other stuff which should be here shortly. The other stuff is more kind of la's esq, rhythm and bluesy psychedelic country.My interests when not persuing music include old handmade Italian and British Racing bicycles, Mercian of Derby is my favourite frame manufacturers. I like brogue shoes - specfically of the brown suede variety or tan leather. I also like old guitars, valve amplifiers, recordings made on vinyl, beat literature and fine watches.
