About Me

Hi! My name's Arran, and I play guitar and sing. I have green eyes, stupid hair, and a guitar that will not stay in tune no matter how nice I ask...
In my acoustic project, I've been lucky enough to share stages with the likes of Buddy, Jonah Mantranga, Ian Love, New Cut Smile, Frank Turner, Keith Burton and His Beef Curtain (awesome) and The Darwin Theory, and what was meant to be a bit of fun as a break from playing metal, has turned into something much bigger. I've played in a bunch of places and met a lot of cool people. So, cheers for checking out my page, have a listen to my music and get in touch, I love to hear from people.
I also play bass in the mighty Guns N Oatcakes, Yorkshire's finest party rockers, alongside Harrogate metal titans Drowned In Flames. It's a busy life, but I like to rock...
