About Me


Try the BEST MySpace Editor at MySpace Toolbox !
So how do you write a short intro without sounding (a) arrogant, (b) sad or (c) twee ?
I was born and raised in South Yorkshire and have been writing songs and singing for a few years now. Initially I kept getting frustrated at not being able to replicate other people's songs. Then it dawned on me that no-one does Bob Dylan better than Bob Dylan or John Lennon better than John Lennon. That's when I decided to write my own things. I've been influenced Stephen Fretwell, Martha Wainwright and The Jayhawks.
New songs should appear at regular intervals.
I hope you enjoy one man and his guitar singing simple songs about complex things.
I also perform with Sizzling Samosas , a collaboration with Keiran Moses and Stu Hall .
People I'm currently listening to,
