Hum

About Me

Guitar and vocals I've been writing songs for twenty two years now and sold many albums while busking on the streets of Britain. I started when I was 15 but had classical training from an early age. I have played with Hawkwind on the travellers circuit as a guest and have played La Scala in Italy. I love to make peoples hair stand on end when I sing and if I can make someone happier with my music then I will die a happy man. My claim to fame is refusing a record deal with Virgin Records, and I'm bloody glad I did.
The Rattle and Hum (almost) Acoustic Sessions live @ the Globe is now officially over after nine years of sessions I am changing direction, partly because my Dad needs looking after up in Leicester.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me in the past nine years there are too many to mention, you all know who you are.
