About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Hey. I live in the crazy boomtown that is Edinburgh. I play a righteously funky guitar, working with a few bands here and there. I also DJ, playing funky records that make you move and I teach guitar a little too. I have big hair, an appreciation for good coffee and good people and I don't really like nonsense. Here's me playing with 3Style at T in the Park 2006 to give you an idea of what I'm all about...
