About Me

Sausage fingers accurately descibes me and me porksome didgets! Despite this handicap, I still manage to get a note or two out of the four string wonder machine that is my violin. I also dabble in the "doom box" viola, electric violin (Jordan 5 string- www.Jordanmusic.com), Voice and guitar. I have been lucky enough to write/play strings on albums of the following artists... Alice Russell-Tru thoughts, Quantic-Tru thoughts, Bonobo-Ninja(New Album...mmmmmmm!....), Nature BoyLou Rhodes-Infinite bloom, Bah samba, Natural Self- Breaking Bread, Oddur Runnarson, Martin Messent, Mawglee, Mummer. As well as my own band(Gypsy Swing) The Magic Number www.myspace.com/themagicnumberswinguk, I also play stuff for... The desperate ones, The Mountain Firework Company, Mab. When I can't be bothered with all this creative stuff... I remove furnature from peoples homes and drive them to places in a lorry... and sweat alot in the process..... I think thats it... goodbye!....love you...x
