About Me

I love playing guitar in the Edinburgh based band Beaker. If you want to pidgeonhole us then I'd describe us as funky punky pop rock with a fairly upbeat and distinctive bouncy vibe, with occasional ;o) heavy rock overtones. Although the Beaker boys would describe more simply as pop/metal :oD Check us out at www.beakerband.com , and our myspace sites Beaker & Killer Kings .I also support local bands on the Edinburgh music scene, in fact I support any Scottish bands.................. Well let's face it, I'm just a big dirty music ho, who likes pretty much all music... So come and join my lovely warm and fuzzy network, next to the roaring fire, and have a wee dram....Especially loving Sounds Like April right now, their songs are lovely :o) And of course they are home grown Scottish talent ;o)Your results:

My Interests

Music - listening (can't live without my ipod) and playing guitar in Beaker , photography (mainly of people being natural, but sometimes I like to get arty), sports (squash, running, tennis, weights, hill walking), having fun with my Sister Rae and my friends and laughing lots :o). Oh and obsessing about guitars, mainly gibsons . I have a Gibson SG Standard in Heritage Cherry, and my electro-acoustic (Norah) is a Taylor 2003 Ltd Edition 314CE , and they are the best things I've bought ever :o)
