About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace Layouts Buy The new album 'Songs From Under The Table' on CD right here!!!With a playing style strongly reminiscent of Jon Martyns ‘Solid Air’ days and a writing style heavily influenced by the same, with generous helpings of Todd Rundgren, Joni Mitchell, World Party and Nick Drake, Al’s true calling has always been the live performance of his original blues and folk tinged set.Urged by the late great virtuoso guitarist Eric Roche to get out there and play, Al has gone on to gig intensively throughout 2006/2007 playing support slots with artists including Martin Carthy, Tina Dico, as well as Cambridge Folk Festival.Whilst working alongside a host of influential names as a producer and remixer, most notably as one half of the Spacebats duo responsible for the remix of The Doors classic Riders On The Storm, not to mention writing scores for television and multi-million dollar video games, Al has also released a debut album of his own acoustic based songs, called 'Songs From Under The Table'..
