About Me

I play and record with Mark Wright, Danny Powell and James Elder. I gig with these guys plus JAG, Jan Graveson and Chris Simmons. I love my girlfriend Georgie and my family and my friends. Life is fucking awesome and I wouldn’t change a thing... accept my bank balance! Tho that looks all set to change thanks to some of these talented bastards I’ve been lucky enough to work with!
Got asked to do this for some reason so here it is... a very interesting list of my toys.
GUITARS:
Fender USA Stratocaster "Strat Plus" 1994 - Black Pearl Burst, modified with 7 position switch, Jeff Beck Noiseless pickups, 35dB boost active circuitry, Customshop ’57 neck.
Takamine EF508C acoustic
Yamaha CG150CCE electric nylonstrung
Antoria custom Nashville Hi-strung
Cort Artisan B5 5-string bass
Fender Reissue 59 Bassman, with a Korg tuner, Vox wah and Digitech Hot Rod distortion. That’s it...
STUDIO:
ProTools LE 7.4 powered by the 002R, Command8 and a huge fuckoff 4GB RAM etc etc Phil Rees Custom PC. Macs can suck me...
