About Me

Not really a bio to speak of, just more of a need to create music but without having the ability to stay in a band for more than a year, tends to mean you become a solo artist without giving it much thought.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 23/11/2005
Band Members: Paddy Jones : Everything, all though its pretty much guitar based, I also like to think I can play the saxophone and sing. Every now and then a harmonica or mandolin pops into my hands and I attempt to play and record the results. I also dabble with the keys.
Influences: Growing up I was kind of into generic plastic pop, which I slowly began to realise was the antithis of what music is about, so I listend to anything with loud, heavy guitars in it. Over recent years my taste has developed and I hope in my sound you'd find snatches of Manu Chao, Seeed, Raul Midon, George Gershwin, The Cat Empire, Nirvana, E-Z Rollers, System of a Down, Jewel, John Lee Hooker, Garbage, Flogging Molly, The Levellers, Ani Di Franco, Metallica, Massive Attack, Portishead, Guns 'n' Roses and a whole host of unsigned acts that I have met or gigged with over the years.
Sounds Like: You tell me. I'm not trying to be anything. I hope that what comes into my head forms something cohesive that simply sounds like something worth listening to. Time will judge on this one I guess.
Record Label: The words SELF FINANCED spring to mind.
