I am here for Networking

About Me

I am a guitarist/singer/songwriter from the UK. I relocated to Zurich, Switzerland in April 2007 to play guitar on the Swiss production of the hit Queen musical "We Will Rock You". I have been playing as a dep in the London production of the show at the Dominion Theatre since the beginning of the year and it's proven to be a great deal of fun. The production moves to Vienna, Austria in January next year.I feel honoured to have worked with some incredibly talented musicians over the years, both on a professional and semi-professional level and can honestly say that I am just as passionate today about the guitar and the creative process of writing and composing music as I was when I began.

My Interests

Buying Guitars; I think I've covered music, so apart from that: Comedy; getting tattooed; dragging my arse to the gym; collecting black T-shirts; Laughter; Whiskers on Kittens; correct use of apostropes; talking utter shite; Christmas; Mum, Dad and big Sis; Wyatt Van Wendels; Viz comic; inventing new and interesting swear words; animals; minerals; vegetables; video games on rainy days; writing stupid songs; Converse Allstars; continuing to build a healthy CD collection...... Bubble-wrap......Oh, and Marina - The love of my life. Every day I thank God I found you, baby.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody with a passion to create - in any field.

Music:

I personally don't trust anybody who doesn't appreciate the music of Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Prince or David Bowie.Aside from that, the rest is fair game, but my other favourites include: Jeff Buckley, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Queen, Jellyfish, Soundgarden, Parliament, Funkadelic, Queens of the Stone Age, John Mayer, Jason Falkner, Foo Fighters, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, AC/DC, Incubus, Ben Folds, BB King, Sly and the Family Stone, The Meters, Alice In Chains, Albert Collins, Rico, Al Green, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fishbone, Marvyn Gaye, Pink Floyd, The Black Crowes, RATM, Brand New, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Curtis Mayfield, Depeche Mode, Alien Ant Farm, ELO, Lenny Kravitz, Muse, Stevie Wonder, Jude, The Mars Volta, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby Stills and Nash, Tool, Third Eye Blind, Imperial Drag, Living Colour, The Knack, Simon and Garfunkel, Otis Reading, The Eagles, The Kinks, Motown, The Small Faces, Cat Stevens, The Who.....In short, anybody who, I feel, either plays music WELL and/or writes good songs.

Movies:

Unfortunately I am allergic to sound, movement and sitting down, therefore I have never seen a movie that I've enjoyed.

Television:

Yes, actually. I have one for sale back in England. 80 quid! Please message me for details.

Books:

I love the way they smell.

Heroes:

My parents, Marina, Little-Big-Sis, Wyatt Van Wendels, Wonder Woman, Bat Fink, Banana Man, Super Ted and Goat Boy,.. And the mighty Phil Hilborne, to whom I owe a great musical debt....and several beers.
