About Me

CLICK HERE TO READ INTERVIEW WITH MY MATE TONY VAN FRATER ALL ABOUT GUITARS
I Play lead guitar and write with Beki for UK punk ROCK band VICE SQUAD. Also teach guitar and PRODUCE AND MIX Rock / Punk / Industrial music.
I Recorded and mixed the last 5 Vice Squad albums.
I have my own recording rig and have done tons of remixes and TV / Film music. I feel very lucky to have played guitar with OZZY OSBOURNE and..don't laugh......MICHAEL BOLTON ( Top Of The Pops ).
2007 I recently co wrote and produced the VICE SQUAD CD 'DEFIANT'. It is a hard hitting album and has melody...Musically I love POWER and good tunes - I hope we have acheived this on DEFIANT !
The October 2006 US tour was a great success - thanks to ALL THE FANS for supporting us we love you...YOU ROCK !
COMING SOON VICE SQUAD West Coast USA sept 2007 YEAH !
I have composed music for Saatchi and Saatchi ad company in UK and several TV projects - my proudest so far with Gary Johnstone who directed the film documentary "The Truth about Killing" for channel 4 in the UK. In that project I was able to indulge in my passion for twisted/industrial and horror style soundtracks which I thoroughly enjoyed - I have been doing some demo work recently with Gary for a new film project which must for now stay secret - but it is involved with one of the BIGGEST names in film.
VICE SQUAD love playing in the USA because the folks there are really open-minded about their music which is GREAT for me because I LOVE all forms of Rock...... Punkrock,Metal,Rockabilly etc are linked from blues onward so we are all part of a long,never ending and most brilliant historical musical chain. So - if you are open minded about your music - become one of my friends

Subscribe UnsubscribePunk music can stir up Politcal action - I believe that caring for the less fortunate and fighting a cruel unjust society IS our duty. We MUST continue this fight for human and animal rights - look at what Bob Geldof and his peers did !!MUSICAL INFLUENCES ??? mmm - not enough room here !
I absoloutely love bands from the 70's Bowie,Bolan,SWEET,Be Bop Deluxe and SLADE who gave us fantastic tunes fun image and the first axe Gods like Hendrix ,Mick Ronson and Bill Nelson.
SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK,MINISTRY, GARY NUMAN etc....

Influenced greatly by MOTLEY CRUE,KISS,CHEAP TRICK,BILLY IDOL and VAN HALEN and being brought up in the 80's it reminds me of the good old days where music can be fun ( if a little self centred ).
I've always admired REAL guitar heroes Ace Frehley,Rick Nielsen,George Lynch,Slash and Mick Mars etc.. More recent guitarists that have 'knocked me out' are STEVE STEVENS ( I'm not worthy).
ohh my....BUCKETHEAD is O-U-T OF THIS W-O-R-L-D BRIAN SETZER and the amazing JOHN 5 - all these guy's look fantastic ( REAL guitar heroes ) but can wipe the floor with many of these boring old gits that think in order to play great guitar that you have to look like a 'boring old git'....

Bands of the 90's NIN, MANSON and ZOMBIE have really done something cool.
I'm not just a 'square beat' guy I really think GNARLS BARKLEY has done some great hip-hop..SINATRA SWINGS...and I absoloutely love MOTOWN music.
