About Me

A gig which I am putting onLacuna was born out of a New Years Resolution. I thought it would make a change to make some resolutions that were actually fun. One of them was to write and record some music to some of my words. This was in January 2006. I joined up with Steve who wrote and played guitar parts for three of my tunes.
After I finished working with Steve I decided I wanted to play a bigger part in what I was doing. So I picked up my cornet from my parents house which I hadn't played for about 7 years, bought a loop station and a glockinspeil and started playing round with loops. All the tracks on my My Space are taken straight from my looper with nothing done to them, and are mostly first takes.
I've played at Cafe Kino, Ashton Court Festival, Spike Island, The Cube, The Croft, The Lansdown and The Lamb Inn, Trowbridge for Sonic Sanctuary. I am keen to play more gigs, so I can improve, and get rid of my knocking knees.Enough boring stuff, let me know what you think, and if you fancy collaborating on anything.
Having decided to apply to play the blackout tent at Ashton Court, I got talking to a filmaker called Michael over My Space, hes agreed to make a short film to go with some of my music. Please check out his My Space to see some excellent examples of his work, and the beginings of a short film to go with my music.. really looking forward to seeing the finished result. If we don't get through to Ashton Court I plan to use it at my Album Launch :)
Visuals for Wipe Clean (excuse the dodgy home demo)
Me and Emma made a jingle for Word of Mouth Radio . You can listen to the show from 9pm-11pm on Monday nights - 93.2fm or listen online bcfmMy album which was completed in May 07 can now be bought online. If you are planning on coming to one of my gigs, or are likely to see me in person, you may as well buy it direct from me and save on the £1.50 postage costs. Also please contact me prior to buying if you are buying from abroad, to arrange postage costs. Thanks!
Also note the duplication was done by the excellent Matt at Hifi copies, I couldn't reccomend him enough. He's located in Bristol, really fast, good quality/value service click here for info
