I'd like to the think Im the sort of performer who could totally change your perception of how things can be done! Im proud to say I'm from Wigan and, have performed in piano bars, at some of the larger folk festivals, art galleries, country festivals, pubs, arts centres, old peoples homes, young peoples homes, on street corners and café terraces all over Europe.
I sing and play guitar, piano and fiddle and have explored music through many forms - blues, contemporary folk, country, rock, popular songs and more.................................................
My songs can take you to places that people might not always notice and after the feeling that brings the creation of a song I want to recreate the atmosphere and spark of that moment..... Rhythm is a natural, primitive communication and I listen within for the steady solid beat to get through to you!................................
As I walk towards many horizons, spreading a smile and an honest message of hope is what I live for
that nickelcreek as well he's sick. Rocked it is a under statement Jon. I cudnt belive what happened.
Last chord of the very last song Adam goes for a guitar swing and it comes flying off and smashes in2 his apple mac computer wat we wer recording the gig with. £800 gone! If I was stud next 2 him while it happened I wud b in hospital right now thats how fast it came off.
other than that it was a blider. selling dvd's now as well. Anyway it gives adam sumthin chat 2 westlife about 2moro night ha ha.
just thought id say hi, hows it goin ? its a good job me n my dad came to ur gig at the royal oak the other day, coz u lost ur pic n my dad had one. haha i really enjoyed it, thank you very much, and iv added one of your songs to my profile. maybe some of my friends will take an interest in it. . . not many people i know my age like the kind of music i do, i like a wide range or music, its quite strange if you take a look on my ipod and see how different some of the things are...from dance to classical, from rock music to blues and rag time guitar, my friends laugh at some of the music i got but i dnt care. i went straight on my guitar as soon as i got in from ur gig, but im not even a fraction as gd as you, but then again iv only just started :)
hey, my dad told me about you, so i had a listen. i really like 'leaning on a lamp post' very catchy. i will haopefully be coming to watch you soon when you are at the royal oak. its not far from me. see you soon Adam...
