About Me


I first picked up a guitar in July 2008. This means I'm not particularly good, but its a lot of fun and its nice to be able to write my own stuff
Right, if you are about to add me, you've read this far and it means you might actually be interested. I'm not here to boost statistics, I'm here to enjoy music and make real friendsIf you add me with no message - denied. If you add me with a message saying please take the time to listen to my songs - denied. I really dont care about that and if I did I could have 10,000+ friends on here by now - but what would it mean? Would I be getting paid? Would I get a record deal? No, I would have to wade through tonnes of bullshit to find my real friends when I want to
SOD THAT!
