About Me

Hey, I'm Sean. Here's a few stolen songs I demo'd recently with fellow Fat Cat Simon Billinton on Guitar. They were recorded in a hurry due to lack of time and money, over just a few hours at the Dairy in Brixton, South London and they sound like they do as the songs are recorded live with Just a guitar and a voice.
Simon and I became official buskers on the London Underground recently after auditioning through Automatic Management. They used to arrest you for playing the underground but now you audition, bit of headway there then.We recently worked on artist Ruth Ewans's project with Artangel Islington 'Did you kiss the foot that kicked you? 100 musicians performed around London simultaneously singing and playing Ewan maccoll- singer, songwriter, socialist actor and playwrights- Ballad of accounting who once pissed off MI5.read more here-www.balladofaccounting.org
In the past I sang with Vince Clarke of depeche/yazoo/erasure fame doing B.v's on Erasures live stuff and this summer i did a four song session with Culture Club.Belting out the lead vocals on'church of the poison mind 'Time' And 'Just wanna be loved' was cool- really enjoyed it , great musicians they are. I have performed on many of London's club stages including solo p.a's in Heaven, The fridge, Hippodrome, at glastonbury festival and regular performances at the Brixton Bug Bar. I had the honour of working as one half of a double with the one and only Burnel Penhaul alias 'Transformer' who caused havoc in the '97 election standing for moneypennys nightclub. We had our first live P.a in Ku, @ Privelege Ibiza and worked all the parties for chuff chuff/ moneypenny's, Mixmag etc and supported Bizzare inc live in Zurich Switzerland before touring the club circuit all over the U.k. Full page Interviews followed in Mixmag and featured in time out london and the Magic of Ibiza book. More recently have been applauded at the big chill with no clothes on so thanks for being so encouraging if you were one of 'em-saucy minx.!
