About Me

Hi, I am a drummer who writes words as well as drum beats. I also strum and pick a fine ole 80s yamaha sg 1000 and a yamaha acoustic. I like out of singing as well. I am the drummer for alt country band widewater who are listed as my no 1 friend below so please check them out. If there are any bands in the Brighton area who need a drummer please get in contact. I have time for another project. In terms of guitar playing I am interested in creating quirky post modern Robin Hitchcock/lenord Cohen/Tom Waits style music. If anyone would be interested in collaborating again, please get in contact. Meanwhile please check out my band Widewater, like I said they are my No1 friend. SUGAR URGENT MEN EASILY RUBBISH, ITS ALL NONENSE, KIPPERS YOU NONCES GO - SHOOSH!!!
