About Me

I'm entirely unreservedly and sometimes disturblingly English, most of the time i think i have it under control, but then i'm put in a position of discomfort and i just explode in an orgy of over-politeness and inappropriate self-deprecation. It's a curse. I am a flamboyantly average guitarist but somehow manage to carve a living from it. When i'm in london i miss LA, and when i'm in LA i miss my self-respect. I don't have gingivitis but i am somewhat concerned about the onset of rickets.
