About Me


Myspace Layouts by MySugarSpace.com One voice, one guitar music stripped back to the core of its rawest sound. Songwriting at its most creative and prelevent.The song comes first and foremost.A unique blend of voice and acoustic guitar melted and forged into this tour-de-force of sounds that will capture the listener again and again...A Hinckley based musician means excess to many venues around the midlands as well having spent time living and playing in the Chesterfield and Sheffield area and having played in most parts of the country at some point in a twenty year career spanning various bands and various genre's as a semi-pro musician.I consider myself a progressive musician forever experimenting with tunings and strange chord patterns that make the songs I would like to think different but at the same time familar , everything is relative!I write more songs than I can keep up with but I hope to get a lot recorded this year and hopefully get some released.Ordinary Love songs is the first release on my own label and the next two albums will be Tinmoonghost followed by The Stark Tree later on 2007.hello one and all the album is sounding good and the new songs are great looking forward to playing them to you all in the very near future... have a good un!
