About Me

I am a Singer/Guitarist, mainly acoustic (6 & 12 String), although I also play Mandola, Mandolin and Keyboards (a bit). I have been around the Folk Scene in Sheffield since the early 1990's having been the Lead Vocalist/Guitarist/Mandola/Mandolin player in the trio "Hair Of The Dog" for about 12 years. I left the band in 2006, wishing to change direction musically having grown tired of playing the same, mainly irish songs. After taking a break from the scene I am now out and playing again, as a solo performer and am available for bookings in around the area.I recently stared to write more of my own material and will be changing and adding songs on this page as and when I have something new for you to listen to, so keep coming back to check. If you like what you hear tell all your friends. If you don't, then, for heaven's sake, keep you gobs shut! (ha ha)Check out my new ezFolk page from the band website link to find more tracks!
