About Me

I've played in lots of bands but the only ones I wrote songs for are The Vaselines,Captain America and Eugenius. I was in the Famous Monsters, played violin and piano for The Pastels and guitar for The BMX Bandits for a year each. I've sang on records by Future Pilot AKA,Isobel Campbell and The Reindeer Section. I'm now singing solo but sometimes have a band with no name but its members are Dave,Dave,Paul and Paul. I've been toured singing and playing guitar in Isobel Campbell's band. Writing some new songs,don't when they'll be released but I'll stick some on here for all to hear.Soon.Playing some shows with the revived Vaselines 2008.
