About Me

I am one half of experimental, comedy-pop, whistling duo Nige and Trev . The other half is self proclaimed king of the hedgehogs and undisputed genius of verbal diarrhoea Frank Fish . I also write and record songs with the absurdly talented Paul Gibbon at Rooftop Studio . Our country songwriting project is called Mechanics of Sorrow and our pop project is called Torn Hearts . I used to play guitar and wear a flipper hat in an aquatically obsessed, pantomime rock band called Frank Fish and the Fins and I was once in a surreal, Shirley Bassey obsessed, quirky pop duo called The Blake and A Blake and was a founder member of The Dwoms . Sometimes I feel the need the record rambling improvised jazz'n'roll instrumentals with award winning drummer Dale Marshall . We call ourselves Gurzunz as a humble tribute to the late, great audio genius Michael Gerzon . My favourite colour is transparent. My favourite band is Frank Rabbit and the Bobtails . My favourite dogs are without a doubt Lurchers .
