About Me

I love Music of all sorts, Horror Films, and I'm a bit of a history geek ;)
I'm originally from The Isle of Anglesey which lies on the north west coast of Wales, a short hop across the sea is Ireland.
I have played in various music groups from Folk to Black Metal and Rockabilly to Psychobilly. I don't feel comfortable within a single genre.
I studied Sociology at the University of Wales from 1998 to 2002 and became a journalist after graduating until I moved to Manchester with my then band in 2006.
In early 2008 I moved to Shrewsbury in the West Midlands with my young lover and now am a guitarist with a new band Psycho Maniaxe..Watch this space!
I play Guitar and Double Bass. 'My sound' on guitar is very primative (ie raw and crappy) I love shitty mass produced early 60's guitars designed by mad surf obsessed japanese eccentrics and even worse 70's amps. If your unfortunate enough to hear me think about a drunk Link Wray spitting and snarling to you after going to see a Cramps gig chatting up the Motown girls.
