About Me

Been playing for about 12 years now and got my first band together at uni in Camborne, in the arse-end of Cornwall. 'Drift' fell apart after (and usually during) a few gigs in the union but also gave me the taste for this music lark. Played countless venues in and around Manchester over the years, including my mate's back yard, Wembley and Madison Square Garden. Went to Australia in 2004 to write, play and drink. Got sucked into the scene and after hammering the open-mic's ended up gigging 3 or 4 nights a week. Supported some frickin' awesome Australian acts over there: Velvet Janes, Nathan Kaye, Brett Hunt, Toby and Code Red etc. Check out their sites when you get chance. Recently returned (reluctantly- bloody visas) to lose my tan, spread the word and keep on rockin'.
