About Me

This is a collection of tunes that I made a few years back now... however there is more coming super soon as I have finally pulled my finger out and started getting all excited again . I've been gigging about for something like ten years in various groups and have recently taken a break from libve music to concentrate on different creative paths. After a nice long break though I now have the fire back and want to start playing out soon. Among the people I've played with are Sam Dale, Dean McPhee, Mark Waterman, Stephen Grew, Robin Zahler, Ben McCabe, Steve Lewis, The Brothers McSherry, Stuart Metcalfe and the incomparable Martin Condit who is the coolest motherfucker I've ever met. My music is influenced by all sorts, the groups and musicians mentioned on the other side of the page, but also the Beat writers, walking bout town, in the woods, films, henry moore, russian formalism, a good pasta sauce, the artwork of my friend Jojo. Oh, and cuba cuba cuba...

Nausea

The title and inspiration for this piece is taken from the Jean-Paul Sartre novel of the same name. For the moment it's the jazz that's playing; there's no melody, only notes, a host of little jolts. ...
