Bio
Currently the guitarist with British AOR legends FM and working on a Rory Gallagher project with Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake) and Dave Levy and Rich Newman from Rorys band. I was born in the 70's in good old Cheshire. Been playing music since I was at school. I'm not bad on the old guitar and also do a bit of the folllowing: piano, harmonica, bass, singing, songwriting, pedal steel.......and triangle! I've had the pleasure to work with Thea Gilmore, Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake), Steve Overland (FM), Zak Starkey, Robbie McIntosh, members of Rory Gallaghers band, members of Lindisfarne, Mary Lees Corvette and have played at many major festivals throughout the world including V, T In The Park, Calgary Folk etc.. Also made numerous TV and radio appearances (check the blog) and been on a few records (including my own released in 2006). I continue to gig under my own name and accompanied by 'Heavy Weather'. Check out all forthcoming gigs!!

Blues Matters review. A purposeful and biting guitar intro pulls us straight into this set as 'going to Ground' tells a contemporary blues tale, with a strong structure and flow to boot. This is a set of originals with a nice sense of space and conviction in the lyrical delivery. Our man Kirkpatrick has a strong suit in punchy intros and most of these numbers could start a live set, no problem. An edgy slide sound is also featured to great effect. A veteran of several quality bands and a current conspiritor of Thea Gilmore, this chap has a good ear for a song and a natural arrangers sixth sense, presumably put to use with his other project Heavy weather. I like the tinge of acoustic/Americana that comes to the fore here and there. The album plays well as a result and 'Heavy Weather' is strikingly near Roadhouse/Storm Warning territory, as such a good performance or two would likely put Mr Kirkpatrick in Blues Matters! readers' good books.
