More info...
Previously played with indie guitar rock heroes (and night time BBC Radio One favourites) Fuzzbird, Greenhouse, The Chorus and the Sinister Cleaners. Now fronts Leeds based Whole Sky Monitor as well as doing the acoustic stuff.
The songs are not indie rock without a band but might be 'alternative folk' or 'modern urban folk' or something - ‘A little like Loudon Wainwright III with fewer jokes’ seems to come reasonably close, though there are no influences worn on the sleeve.
Lyrical obsessions include love, longing, lust, religion, politics, self examination, the meaning of life, TV, general angst and touches of black humour.
The 'Illegal Songs' Tour is now a distant memory and I'm doing other stuff like getting some songs together for myself and with Whole Sky Monitor. More gigs and maybe even a new album in 2009 - Hurray!
A note on myspace...
Please bear in mind that my myspace friends are usually there for some 'really quite good reason, actually' (and they are a good looking bunch...) They aren't just people I've trawled up to make it look good. Mind you, since it's you...
