About Me

I currently work at Tesco, I also work at Waterside centre gig nights in Newbury as Stage Manager and I also teach bass. I like to think of myself as a deep and thoughtful person but I guess that's for whoever's reading this to decide.I've been playing bass and guitar since I was about 14 and have been in bands since I was 15. Before that I used to play brass instruments, I played trumpet, tuba and tenor horn. In my time playing in bands I've played some pretty good venues such as The Old Kentish Town Forum, Camden Underworld, Upstairs @ The Highbury Garage, The Fez Club in Reading, Camden Barfly, Islington Academy. Bands I've now played gigs with are Conflict, Gutworm, Anti Flag, Sepultura, Chimaira, Sikth, Devildriver and God Forbid to name but a few. Check out my band in the links/banners below, our debut album 'Entities' is out on August 20th via Anticulture records, please check it and us out! MY BAND:
