Ben Folds, U2, ACDC, Metallica, Foo Fighters, The Beatles, Badly Drawn Boy, Hipster, Christy Moore, R.E.M., Queen, The Police, Lifehouse, Feeder, Fountains of Wayne, Turin Brakes, Counting Crows, Aerosmith, David Gray, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Oasis , Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Travis , Weezer, Thin Lizzy, Genisis, Crowded House, and any that rocks but still focuses on a good melody. Singer/ songwriters, rock and metal bands, pop, folk…. I’ll give pretty much anything a listen once.
In the Beginning...
I first started playing guitar back in 93, when myself and my brother Mark bought a guitar from our good friend and neighbor Daryl Parker. Daryl had been playing for a few months and had decided to upgrade to better guitar so we took his beat up old guitar off him.
After a few weeks of "sharing" Mark decided that he wasn't really that interested in it after all and that guitar basically became mine, unofficially at least. I began to teach myself a few bits and pieces and the rest as they say is history.
I began playing pub gigs with "Hipster" (see the MySpace page below) back around the year 2000 and then branched out to play some solo gigs around Europe during 2003/2004. I haven't played publicly in a few years, apart from the odd gig with Hipster.
At the moment I am focusing on trying to write a few songs. Any attempts will be recorded as demos and posted here on this page. Please feel free to have a listen and let me know what you think, good or bad.
Update
Just back from the south of France where I spent the week with the lads from Hipster. I have 3 news songs to share with you. The recordings are a bit better than "Right Words" but I still hit a few bum notes along the way and I'm not sure if the tempo on "Another Weekday Song" is right but sure we shall see.
