About Me

What's the musical version of a hack or a quack?..well, whatever it is that's me. I'm the result of family, friends, music teachers, and even myself telling me I'm tone deaf- shouldn't bother trying to learn an instrument never mind writing songs and generally a waste of space. Unfortunately for everyone I'm a stubborn bastard and have attempted to do the exact opposite.In fact last year I made some songs for a "Christmas CD" cos I'm cheap when it comes to presents. This year I did the same thing, but instead of a Christmas Cd I've gone for a 5-track EP entitled The Little Summer EP. I'd say this time I've gone for quality over quantity, but then I could just be deluded or lying...decide for yourselves. ;)Well I've been doing this for 2 years there's still no live drums on these songs and I'M A DRUMMER and have played in quite a few bands over the years, I suppose I'lll have to work on that for the next batch of tunes.
