About Me

I am also now on I tunes - the excitement is uncontrollable

'a demon-eyed and thoroughly broken singer trying to separate shards of God and mutated angels from urban disease...a fascinating performance.' venue magazine

...I feel like a fuckin' broken singer...Jesus Christ I knew I should've got a proper job...In case you haven't already guessed you've not caught me in a very good mood. I'm even getting on my own nerves. I don't seem to be doing very well with my music at the mo. I knew I should've learnt to play catchy pop, but the thing is I've been writing these songs for years now and I just can't change. I wish I was around in the days when dark, moody singer songwriters were in but now it's all fluffy bunny stuff and I don't fit in...oh bollox.. I really thought there was a market for throat cutting ballads these days...I hate describing my music but here it goes...

If you like James Blunt I'm probably not the man for your ears. If you like Britney Spears, I have a slightly blond tinge to my hair and could even try wearing a dress but frankly it ain't happening. I'm a singer songwriter from Bristol playing a kind of 'unfluffy' acoustic music. I tend to find acoustic music these days tends to be full of people with 'pretty voices' playing 'pretty songs', this is an attempt to get away from that. I also have a heavy interest in poetry, not the english tea party kind but the blood and guts, fire and lightning kind. I have released two E.P.s and an album, you can buy it from

I have also toured Ireland. When I feel I've had too much music I like to put on my boots, grab my electric guitar and front Indie rock band 'groundless'. You can listen to them if you want at
