About Me

Former Place Above guitarist, now in process of writing my own acoustic material as well as performing some old Place Above tracks. Aiming to create some very simplistic acoustic songs and do the odd gig here and there. I hope you enjoy!"Nice bloke acoustic strumming with, hmmm, actually... rather f*cking good melodies. He listens to Vashti Bunyan, Radiohead, This Mortal Coil and Bruce Springsteen so he's alright with me." - Chris Beard, Exposure
I created this profile using the Skize.com MySpace Profile Editor which is really easy to use. You can also check out their other selection of MySpace Layouts !
