My Story

I have Been interested in Music since my Teens, Formed and joined many bands in my youth, spent fortunes on gear and demos and trailed around London talking to every A&R man That would listen, and wouldnt change any of it great times with great friends, performed in clubs professionally for over fifteen years, Guitar wise it has taken a long time, self taught and with the attention span of a gold fish, I would play but never practice, later in life I started to enjoy the practice and slowly saw the improvement, but always loved the instrument

Music is a way of expressing my life, all those suppressed emotions, that are hard to vocalize, but also my getaway, when Im playing the whole world just melts away until there is just me and my guitar, I may not be the best, it may not be the greatest but it is and means the world to me.
