Weathering the drought

About Me

I grew up in Birkenhead and am the guitarist in a band called Shatner (long story including legendary unsigned status, confusion and laziness). I started out writing my own tunes a few years ago, and have a couple of ep's prepared from older stuff, which is more guitar based, but similarly dancy. I have supposedly benefitted from a private education, which has filtered me away from music (you go into the careers office at school and say I'm going to be a musician, to which they reply that'll reflect badly on our school if you don't go to uni, as if the petty minded idiots know anything or care). Anyway here is a selection of my stuff for you to make up your own mind. EnjoyIf you like this and want more email me for other stuff
