About Me

I was born in '79 near Portsmouth. At the age of two I was picked up and carried to the Wirral (nr Liverpool) where I did the rebelious thing of going to school. Some time later I woke up in Warwick Uni then eventually moved down to Bristol for a job. More recently I've found myself waking up in Leeds on a daily basis which is lucky as I work here.

More importantly, I've been playing guitar since 1993 and bass since 2005. I'm now playing bass for Leeds band The Fret .

I use a Westfield five-string bass thru a Line 6 LD150 amp via a Line 6 FM4 Filter Modeler.

My Interests

Music, guitars, cars, computers, PS2, blah blah blah...

I'd like to meet:
