MY GUITAR PLAYING: I've been playing lead and rhythm guitars for around 20 years now. I was in a signed band called 'Ecce-B', I've supported named acts, been on the TV a few times and played in various East Anglian based bands including the Peterborough based 'Breaking Ice'. On 15th June 2006 I was asked to join Norwich based 'Red-Leaf' due to relocation to Norwich.
WATCH RED LEAF LIVE HERE! :O)

I'd like to mention that my guitar playing is a non-profit making activity (the expenses far outway the income).

"I play guitar simply because I love music and performing live. I know my limitations, I appreciate my ability and I cannot stand people with uncontrollable egos."

MY CURRENT BAND - RED LEAF: The lads are a good bunch. We write and perform our own material and covers. Our act currently consists of around 40% original material the rest being covers. I believe that we give a varied, energetic and modern performance. Red Leaf has recently written new material such as 'Crawling Home', 'Melody For You' and 'December Nights' being labelled as "the best Red Leaf songs so far". www.redleaftheband.com

MY MOTORCYCLING: I like to ride my motorbike. I currently own an '06 Yamaha TT250R, it's a road registered dual-sport type machine. I used to MX an '04 KTM 450SX until I had a nasty accident three years ago. I still ride on the road and I hope to ride tracks again soon.

MY GARDENING WORK:
My gardening work helps me keep in touch with what's 'natural' and the BIG-outdoors whilst keeping my feet FIRMLY on the ground. It's a solitary and physical activity, therefore ensuring that I stay both physically and mentally strong. I've noticed that many people view their garden as one of their main keys to feeling happy.

I'd like to meet:

NICE PEOPLE ONLY! (thanx)

Music:

LED ZEPPELIN REUNION: The Greatest rock band ever, postponed their most eagerly awaited concert of the season due to the fact that guitarist, Jimmy Page, broke his finger gardening (respect!) The concert did take place on December 10th at the 02 Arena and included all the original members with the exception of Bonham (whose position was rightfully played by his son, Jason Bonham). Due to the success of the gig, a world tour may follow.
