Simon Palmer

Ever so slightly Nonplussed

About Me

Simon's 23, he grew up in a village called Potten End listening to which is now currently called 'Dad' Rock. Ocean Colour Scene having a large influence to his early work along with classic bands such as Led Zeppelin, Extreme and the works of Nuno Bettencourt. The Non plussed EP was his debut product working alongside the likes of Ugo Oranefo and Rory Rayner this became a success and was put to the people of Liverpool for a short period. Simon's solo project is still moving along smoothly, but also he has recently been working with the Somerset Barnes Project which is originally a soul based movement, this combination having the potential of an original and interesting formula. Watch this Space. Currently living in Tooting london writing and recording....need a band to gig!
