Thank you so much for dropping by and looking at the profile and listening to my music, I started playing guitar around 1980, I don’t know what inspired me exactly but in those early days one of the most influential albums I was listening to was Mike Oldfield’s Tubular bells, I just loved the complexity and musical textures created there, In 1981 I had my first electric guitar a Westbury standard which in its day was a great guitar for the money I started guitar lessons alongside my best friend Craig and we set about learning together from then on, Just jamming for hours in the bedroom. In those days the passion to play just flowed and I remember that I couldn’t wate to get home from school and just pick up that axe!!!In 1982 in incredible change happened in my life I had a personal encounter of the love of God in a way that has changed my life forever, I asked Jesus Christ to forgive me of my sins, and I have found him to be my best friend and in whom I can depend on for all things.Soon after settling into a local Church I started playing Guitar alongside Craig who also became a Christian at the same time, Its amazed me that we both came to the lord at the same time and we began playing Praise and worship in the youth group and in the main church services.In 1987 we set up a Christian rock band and played all over the place for many years and had a great time doing that.In the early 1990s the band split up and I concentrated on bringing up my young family and sold all my electric guitar setup and purchased a Martin 016 copy which sounded great , So I concentrated on playing acoustic guitar exclusively and soon discovered a love for acoustic music.I continue to play acoustic guitar in Church and compose instrumental guitar music which I share with you today. My main aim is to make music to glorify God and hopefully bring peace to the listener.My prayer is that you will find Gods love in your own life too, he always listens to every prayer. It says in the Bible taste and see that the lord is good.Thank you for listening.God bless
