I'm originally from Poole in Dorset and moved to London in 2002. I'm a mammal and enjoy being warm blooded and in an altruistic social structure. Amongst other things I love music, books, parks, friends, cheese on toast, nearly all animals, directors' commentaries, drawing, instruments, dinosaurs, a quick beer, biology, nostalgia, cafes, children's T.V. and comedy shows.
I write lots of music, which you can get from me on CD or mp3 if you e-mail. The CD’s have all got nice colour printed covers with drawings and notes. (Just send me the postage cost if you want "hard copies"):
1.) SOLO ALBUMS
a.) Natural History (2003 CD demo of instrumental tracks)
b.)
The Post Office Tower (2006 CD album)
c.) Lapsang Souchong (2007 CD album)
d.) New album (tbc 2010)
You might be interested in some of the bands and musical friends that I play with too:
2.) ELEVENSES
This was a band with my friend Karen. We were originally a folky/progressive duo with me on guitar and Karen on piano, butgradually morphed into a heavier band, with our friend Sebastien on drums. You can have a listen by clicking on the name above. We’re currently dormant, but did lots of gigs and two CD’s of demos:
a.)
Making a Living (2003 CD album)
b.) She's Dressed for Summer (2005 CD album)
3.) THIS RIOT ELITE
I play guitar in my friend Helen and Louise’s band, which is great fun. They write all of the songs for this one.
4.) GORGOPS
I recorded an album of metal tunes in 2005, under this band name. Many were improvised guitar riffs over a drum programme.
a.) Here is Your New King (2005 CD album)
