About Me

I love music. Lots of it. I love to play music. Lots of it. I'm quite musical and play a few different instruments but when I was 14, I found my favourite instrument, the bass guitar. I dropped everything else, and concentrated on bass. I played in a band at school and a few bands since.I am the bassist and backing vocalist in a rock band called Touchstone - check us out if you get the time - we were voted the Best New Band 2007 by the Classic Rock Society and came second in the category for Best Album and I think we're quite pleasant upon the ears! On a personal note, I also came second in the category of Best Bass Player which I'm very pleased with!We have also been voted "Best New Progressive Rock Indie Artist" by the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame in the USA.I am very proud to say that I am now endorsed by Warwick Bass Guitars for whom I would like to thank for inviting me to their HQ in Markneukirchen for a tour of the factory and a visit to the Framus museum - if you're ever in the region of East Germany, I would recommend a visit there as it is excellent, especially if you are a musician.The basses I play are all Warwick basses - a Thumb 5 NT, a Thumb 5 NT Fretless and a Streamer Stage 1 5 string - I play these through a new Warwick rig consisting of a Tubepath 10.1 head and two WCA 411 Pro speaker cabinets - oooh, "The Sound of Wood" - unbeatable!!You can find more information about Warwick basses and amplification at www.warwick.deThe true loves of my life are my beautiful wife, my two beautiful daughters and my step son. They support me in everything I do and they're all absolutely fantastic. I love them. A lot.
