Aged seven at the height of a Dave Archer paddy and at the top of the stairs, I through the mandolin with menace in my eyes. It created a horrible sound and ended any potential career on the mandolin. My mum wouldn't buy me another one. My dad was given a nylon strung guitar though so I started knocking around with that. My dads a muso and listening to his blues harmonica with a guitarist was almost as exciting as pedalling around in my Roland Rat go cart. I've continued to be excited about making music playing with different bands and you can have a listen to some of them here.
I created my own myspace layout using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

Hey man! I..ve had to stop lessons and focus on making money because I..m getting low, which is a real shame. But its cool because I..m playing with a great bass player and have some gigs coming up which should provide enough to live on. Its the extra cash I need. I..ve learnt some choro pieces as well as some mpb and Tom Jobim. Hows things with Sheela and other projects? Been thinking of you Bro, hope all..s well, peace dave
Dave Archer!! the golden Boy!!! Matey how you doing? Fark how..s things in England going? Playing loads of wicked shit? Holding it down like usual? Man brazil it..s nuts, this place never sleeps, met some wicked arse musicians tonight. I..ve finally made the right connections and they were digging the gypsey tunes. They play in a band that mixes Brazilian styles together. I..ve had 5 lessons now with a great guitar teacher. I bought a seven string but the bridge smapped when I was tuning! So I..ve got myself a six string Di Georgio, came with a tuner built into the pickup. Man I got this guitar new with a case for about 150 Pounds. This is the place to buy gear. Well I hope your world is rockin..n..rollin bro!! Get your arse over here!! Jess
