What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is a natural and supernatural aural pleasure that can lift your spirit higher than a souring bird - its just real good wigging out to your favourite tune or live music. It's a totally free expressive art form that can liberate an individual from the normalness that life can be sometimes.

What is your music dream?

Playing live in a summer meadow to a chilled out crowd of mates - yup bit of hippy thing going on . Growing up in the 70s gave me a bit of an ecletic taste for all things 60s 70s and then post Punk. So sonically or personally thats the where i'd imagine - maybe a kinda modernised version of Floyd playing at the ampitheatre in Pompei .... or some rustic kinda place in the sun.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Disuade people from believing first hand what politicians / media machine churn out on a daily basis which can inevitably influence your perspective on things.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Chirpy Cheep Cheep or Slade's Coz i Love You ?

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Too many - stuck in a 60's time vortex . OK i lke Kraftwerk, The Stranglers, Talking Heads, Cream, The Who, Beatles Stones Bowie Bolan Lou Reed and a bit of reggae.

What inspires you to make music?

My favourite artist always always make me want to try and emulate a sound or vibe.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Music is freedom - happiness -sadness - melancoly . Hopefully if I could lift someones spirit HIGHER and make them want to dance. That would be fab.
