Mostly just me. An occasional bongo player. But nothing serious.
Influences
I like Pavement, Placebo, early AC/DC, I'm not ashamed, body heat and goose pimples, Vic Chesnutt, the Pixies, cardigans, leopard skin slippers, anything which involves marmalade, most things that make you laugh, and an afternoon kip.
I write and sing songs to make you laugh. Or at least just smile a bit. Songs about life, lust and lycra. And power showers. And being old. And having to get drunk to meet people. And about belly dancers. And beards. And losing your virginity on the number 14 bus. The one that goes to Swansea. Felicity, where are you now? And songs where every line rhymes with Priscilla. All the important things.
I also compere an open mic club in Southampton called the Candle Club, every Monday night. Have a peek at

hey dude - i never made it to the candle club last month - sorry : ) But guess what? I is gunna play some tunes at The Talking Heads on the 30th - wana come? aw gowan. take it easy : )
I’ll be playing a set of my own songs accompanied by near-virtuoso guitarist Lewis Harding at the Wedgewood Rooms on 13th April. It’s going to be a great night with two other superb acts to entertain us! Tickets are a steal at only £4 each. We’d love to see you there, so please drop me a line if you’d like a ticket.
Hello there thank you for the kind words.It was great to meet you the other night.I have seen your lovely pictures from the secrect stars eve very good.I have not got round to editing mine yet!!!x
As of 7th November I will be running a monthly Live Acoustic Music Night at The Old Market Inn, Winchester and I'm looking for good musicians to come and play! It's a fun night, and the audience is always really up for it and very appreciative - your comic slant will go down very well, I think :o) You can play for between 30 mins and 90 mins, depending on how you feel and I am able to pay a reasonable amount for your time. It's a great opportunity to showcase your talent in a new venue and both original material and covers are welcome. If you are interested please message me or respond to this comment:o)
hi johnny. soz i haven't been down talking heads for a while - had a great nite last time. You make me laugh. hope ur keeping well. : ) i have a great joke for when i do come down - 'nother free drink 4 me I'm sure! oh yeah!
Have popped a new track (November Funk) up on my space that I'm offering up as a free download... product of a late night solo muck around in the studio :) Enjoy!
So...open mics are just not up to Talking Heads' standards here in the US... I've been put on a waiting list till Nov for a 10 minute slot, what is that about?!
Hello, how are you! Long time no see..
we are having a party in bournemouth next friday at centre stage if you would like to come because we've finished our album! We are playing and so are Toupe and its all free. Let us know if you (and others) can make it!
Johnny, thanks for the add... and thanks for a chance to a play a longer spot at the Heads on the 2nd - I'm sharpening fingers and tongue in preparation (don't try this at home anyone reading).
Very much enjoyed the set a couple of weeks ago and look forward to catching you performing again. In the meantime I think I'll have an explore of your website...
Why have you only got 6 friends?? There must be something i don't know about you.....
I checked out your candle club photos...they're really good! "the ghost of Robin Cook"....pure spooky genius! ;)
