I play guitars, and keyboards, been writing songs properly for the last 12 years, been in a few gigging bands as well as playing solo stuff. I write a mixture of songs, some are funny some are sick some are just observations and some are sad. I also parody a lot of songs especially when I run out of Ideas. The songs that are on the playlist are my own lyrics as are the chords unless I've parodied something. I will be swapping the songs regularly so keep looking. Some stuff might get me into trouble though!!!

I regulary play at Ilkeston Folk Club, which is at Stanton Institute every wednesday and The Borough Open mic in Ilkeston on the first monday of the month, also I've played at The Variety Club in Lenton, Raffles, Hotel Deux and White Lion in Nottingham, The Greyhound in Beeston, and the Five Lamps in Derby, I've also been playing a few gigs around the Ilkeston area including the Bottom End Bar, The Gallows Inn and the Football Ground and am looking for more so give us a message if you are interested.

Thanks to:-

"NecroBlues", "Born to Rule the World", "Santa Dies", "The Hulk", "God's gonna save the day", Vowed not to let you go" and "Wifebeater" are now gone. "Necro Blues" can now be found on my Shabby Road site as can "The Hulk" which is still on the video above, If you want to hear "Born to Rule the World" go to the Ilkeston Folk Club music page at www.ilkestonfolkclub.org.uk/MUSIC.htm and If you want to hear "Wifebeater" its on the Ilkeston Folk Club web page(In my top friends)
If you would like to buy a copy of "8 Songs..." then message your details and for the measly sum of £2 (UK price) in cheque form, I will mail it to you. If you are outside of the UK then the price will depend on the postage costs. There will also be another cd coming soon, it's about finished, I'm really pleased with the stuff thats going on it, I'll keep you posted
I now have another site which I will use for some other studiostuff and for recordings of other people, it is in my top friends under Shabby Road. Hopefully there will be more songs coming up soon.
I now have a ISOUND page you can find me on www.isound.com/crusty_jamrag not much on it yet though, i'll keep you posted.

Please checkout the New Music podcast "Rough Dogger" www.roughdogger.co.uk, It's bought to you by part of the Parkhall Live team (Big Z and Senor Tris) and has some great music on it (I'm on it aswell). They also have a myspace site at www.Myspace.com/roughdogger, but the Podcast is not yet on it - Anyway it's worth a listen, Padcast No.1 has Alice Rock, Deep Insignificance, Arcadia, Me, Iain Collison, Patchwork Grace and Dip and possibly the bestest, smoothest DJing you've heard this side of trifle.
