About Me

i stumbled onto music at an early age when a band of circus clowns kidnapped and forced me to play piano for their peg-legged owner chuck. Years later i sold my goat betty and bought a guitar, i only started writing songs when i was about fifteen. I have had the preasure and plivalage of working on this demo with inspiring musicians johnny flynn and patrick wood, they are old songs , used songs, i needed to squeeze them out of me. I want to start doing stranger sounds, different things, wierd instruments, maybe look for a small demented band. I have many heroes and alot of work to do, i hope you can see the beginnings of something?......
