Sneaks + Struts = No.1 Son

About Me

I learnt to play the guitar aged 11 when I took an interest in my dad's old Eko 12-string. Needless to say I had to get my own in order to start learning!(This I got from a bring'n'buy for £6) I joined my 1st band in high school and played with them till I was 20/21. After that I had the privilege of joining a great semi-acoustic indie/folk band called Brother John (see MarkyBOD in my friends links) then spent some time in the wilderness writing and performing at the local acoustic night in Gourock called Howdy! I also fulfilled my dream of playing on the famous Barrowlands stage with Northern Soul outfit ' Blue Torino'! I spent a couple of years working in and around Tut's learning to gig rep and road managing Policechief which was great - especially taking them to T in the Park! It's safe to say I learnt a lot! Now I am playing for No.1 Son while trying to record my own stuff in my home studio - this is where all the tunes on this page were done so let me know what you think! I also spend time at my friend's studio in Gourock called Life Injection...
