About Me


G'day!
My name is Dan. I'm 23, and a former student (notice the delicate absence of the term 'post-grad') living in South Devon in the UK. For the last few years I've been (slowly) teaching myself to play the guitar. I started gigging in Bournemouth whilst at uni, and am now gigging in and around the Plymouth and South Hams areas.I'm currently working on my own material, though my current live set consists of a range of covers encompassing songs by such diverse artists as the Foo Fighters, The Who, Razorlight, Mika, Bedouin Soundclash, The Killers, Tenacious D, Jeff Buckley, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Eagles, Scissor Sisters, Incubus, Reel Big Fish, The Futureheads, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iron Maiden, Jack Johnson, Regina Spektor and Audioslave.
...
They say diversity is the spice of life, after all.
I'm finding that live music, whether listening to or performing it, is far more fulfilling than pretty much anything else in my life. I'm hoping to write and record some material soon, and get plenty more gig experience.
Hope to see you at a gig soon!
