About Me

Welcome to myspace, mainly used to host some of my recent song ideas, but also to keep in touch with some friends. I'm 20, currently in Birmingham university, living with my amazing girlfriend and 3 other good friends of mine. Originally from Barry in south Wales, originating from Glantaf high school. A fluent speaker of Welsh, a proud supported of the Scarlets, and a self proffessed geek.
Musically, I'm just a novice guitar player making songs in my spare time. If you choose to rate the music, or leave comments, please don't just tell me that they're rubbish - I know they're not great - but leaving constructive critisism would be much more appreciated. Thanking you.
I like to make songs based on the basic chords that I do know, and I'm sure it's helping me improve on the whole too. All songs on here are my original songs, and also aren't final versions. I record them on my PC, and also I'm not the most talented singer, so the quality of the tracks aren't amazing, but still - wallah!
Dan Jenkins - acoustic!
It'd be nice to know what you think of my stuff, or nice to hear from friends, so feel free to leave me a comment or message.
