About Me

Merry Christmas, Gringos! See you in '08, x"Unashamed brilliance" - BBC.co.uk "Should be made available on the NHS" - Tony, The Bedford / Regal Rooms Greetings Traveller! The Short Story;I’m an absolute musical obsessive, with a penchant for multi-instrumentalism. I’m nearly 6 foot tall. I like Cuban heels, and am no longer afraid to wear them in public. This could be down to reaching a quarter century – it could also be an ever-expanding sense of self belief, thanks to B.There’s an indescribable feeling I get when I listen to certain songs, and I think its what keeps me alive. Not that I’d do owt stupid if I didn’t listen to those songs, I’m just saying that music, when it’s done right, really really gets me going. Music (mostly with words attached, but sometimes not) explains everything to me and makes sense of the world and why I’m in it.Once I stopped trying to write smart-arse songs and focus on getting back to what I love, which is GOOD HONEST POP/ROCK, I found myself back on the right path. It seems to be leading me somewhere good at the moment, so I guess I’m doing the right thing.Enjoy the tunes; there’s plenty more to come, and it’s nice to have you along for the journey.But enough about me…etc etc etc * * * * *
