Just trying to make sense of it all.

About Me

Grew up in Hartlepool, Cleveland, or Co Durham depending when you were born. Studied classical guitar, but real passion for music started with The Sweet, I remember seeing them on Crackerjack at me grans house, and realising that's what I wanted to be, no not me gran, a pop star. However, life had other ideas, so now I'm editing Bob the Builder and carpet commercials, but hey the money's good. And I'm too old to be a pop star anyhow, and too fat, and propbably not good enough. But who cares, I'm still making music thanks largely to the early encouragement of my sister Susan, who also paid for my guitar lessons, thanks sis.Hartlepool bands I was in: The Secret Chocolate Eaters (duo with Terry Ashley). Victims of Circumstance (with Dave Morgan on bass, Keith Cadwallender drums, two of Hartlepools finest).Now making music with Logic, but may do some open mic gigs next year.Kudos to those mentioned above, also Pete Gowland, Smithy, The Fault (Face the Bass),the original Durham Street Studios, the Headland, the Nursery Inn, The Dicky Dark (Park hotel), The Gemini, and all of those people I had the oppourtunity to play with. Fnar Fnar.Peace love and mushy peas on the chips, not on the fish please.
