A bloke singing songs and playing guitar with passion and self-belief.
At my live shows I play electro-acoustic guitar and sing my own songs. I also rehearse and record at home using a digital four-track studio with drum loops and effects.
I recorded my live studio album in 2007, recorded by Luke at Windswept Studios. Future "releases" have been full-on four-track demos.

I've been writing songs since the early 90's. Influenced by MADCHESTER, Baggy, Shoegazing and all that and particularly the "Stourbridge three" -
P W E I, Wonderstuff and Neds Atomic Dustbin. I'm continually influenced by a wide variety of other artists from The Who to the prodigy and Cream to Kasabian.

We have entered into the Don't Panic "innovation" poster competition. We need all the help we can get to make sure our poster is shown in the Manchester exhibition. Here is a little version:
Spent friday at the MCG with your clone - who had the england flag painted on his belly. He was you in every way except he did not love the leicester city quite so much.
