The Man Who Fell to Dearth...

About Me

Liverpool born, Liverpool bred - now East Sussex...? Anyway, I saw Beck do a solo gig at The Albert Hall and it completely changed my approach to performing. He was sat on the huge stage with only an acoustic guitar, an upright piano, a simple drum machine and a mic. He sounded fantastic. I really love that directness and it's what I'm striving for now....

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/22/2007
Band Members: Without whoms... Julian Heron provides BV's and a regular prod in the ribs, Rick Pentacost tinkles the ivories (or plastics), Mark Walker hits everything in sight (but rhythmically)... and Guy Denning plays backwards squeaky Vibraphone like no other. Everything else is my fault.
Influences: Beck, Bolan, Bowie, Beach Boys, Beatles, Birthday Band, Buzzcocks, - and that's just the 'B' section of the record collection...Also love; Neil Young, Rickie Lee Jones, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley, both the Baxters (Tom & Stanley), Damien Rice, Scott Matthews, The Feeling, The Good The Bad and The Queen, World Party - and of course, the inestimable World of Leather...more to follow when I think of them...!
