About Me

UPCOMING GIGS
Please get in touch and offer me more. It’s just me in my car, so I can play almost anywhere, almost any time!
NEWS:
NEW ALBUM OUT SOON. 14 tracks of lovely tunes.
You’d be a fool to miss out. Fully recorded - just awaiting final mix and artwork. Bulletin to follow soon once it’s ready for public consumption!
MY CURRENT SELF TITLED ALBUM IS NOW OUT!!
It has 20 tracks and is just under 1 hour long. The price is £5. Orders in a personal message to me please.
Right, back to the description...
12 years ago, I started playing guitar. I got into a band and we pushed each other to the limits of our abilities. We continue to do so. However, this is not my band’s page. This is my page. I sing and I play. I do them at the SAME TIME!!!! Some of it’s tricky. Some of it’s hard. Some of it’s complex. Some of it’s nice. Some of it’s disturbing. All of it’s copyrighted. lol.
I really started playing solo after starting Uni where I won various competitions!! Now that my degree is done, I’m back home trying to build my fan base back up. Ah... those halcyon days when people wanted my autograph and stopped me in the street. Must have been at least 5 of them. There’s also some new photos in the photos section so go have a look.
Anyway... Listen to the tracks and buy the CD! I hope you enjoy.
P.s. These guys asked me to put this on here. Check it out for other bands and artists.
Good News! We can help you get your music heard! Woo!
