Just me at the mo - guitar! Want to set up another band soon. If you're a cool bassist or drummer in the Worcester area get in touch.
2 of the songs on this page are by an old band of mine, This Machinery. I was the guitarist, Sean was the singist (now see Epsilon Red in my friends), Graham was the bassist and Mark was th drummer. We were making some interesting music...
Influences

I'm a guitarist and guitar teacher in the Worcester area (UK). I've been playing since I was 14 and a half - which is quite a while ago now... I love playing guitar!!! I'm so lucky to do it for a job too.
I am the former owner of Worcester School of Rock & Performance; www.wsrp.co.uk - which I am still very fond of and help out from time to time. Visit us on www.myspace.com/wsrp
I'm also an author dontchaknow. To find out about this stuff and my various media appearances in relation to that visit my site at www.brianhoggard.co.uk or www.apotropaios.co.uk

The tour was through Germany plus a gig in Amsterdam with a singer called Jon Harrison, we were supporting Kim Wilde on her European tour - definitely a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately its back to teaching after Easter, which is much less rock 'n' roll...
I'm still thinking of dropping by WSRP at some point to see how things are going, but I guess that Jez is the man to get in touch with now.
All the best with your academic/literary/musical endeavours!

I have the DVD somewhere, will have to try get it on youtube and send it you somehow. On dads cam recorder still actually so I will have to get him to sort it out.
You were a very good stage man that night, helping me sort my strap out that was in a peculiar position that you could find and it looked rather dodgey lol.
LOL thanks Brian. What about the part when I stood on the jack and pulled it out twise and my strap fell off all within the first minute of the first song?
