Guitarist bloke

About Me

I started playing guitar at the early age of seven when I was classically trained for several years. It wasn’t until I heard ‘Still of the Night’ by Whitesnake on the radio in 1987 that I decided Rock music was for me. Now THE LOUDER THE BETTER! * * * My favourite Sacred Heart gig was possibly supporting Kee Marcello at Camden Underworld.  We were all just so “on it” that night, it was a fantastic experience and the crowd were superb! * * * My current gear includes Ibanez Jem 10th, Ibanez RG750 Custom, Antoria Sessionnaire (drop C tuned), Yamaha APX-7 (electro-acoustic), Marshall AVT150H and AVT412, Carvin Legacy VL212 & Laney VC50 amps and enough pedals and rackmount effects to drain the National Grid! (including Boss GX-700, Boss DS-1, Boss HF-1, Zoom 9050, Lexicon MPX100, Alesis 3630, Yamaha GEP50, Digitech Whammy II, Digitech Midi Control Seven, Morley Bad Horsie wah) and also use a Shure EUT14 wireless UHF guitar system. * * * Some previous bands include Theory-X, Dirty Boilers, Britannia, The Rav Jam Band & Fire Coma.
