About Me

Hail fellow lover of music listenable! Thanks for stoppin' by my humble page. You won't find any heavy duty metal or thrashing on this page - if that's what you want to hear, head to my bands page - myspace.com/smokescreenuk - Cheers!

Anyway... This is a page for a project that started out just as a bit of fun, and has now become pretty much my main focus for the time being. I work in a guitar shop, play in the band, teach guitar and I'm generally around music most of the time, I find doing a bit of the old chillout kinda music a good release.

You'll find a few of my own compositions up on here and a few other sites, linked on this page. Thanks if you've checked them out already! There will be more on the way all the time and more gigs to come. So keep your eyes peeled.

Anything you wanna know, just ask - I'd love to hear from you.
Tom
