Sounds Like
being at the wheel when you put your foot to the floor, the shift in your seat as your spirit soars, like the time you were so happy it showed, face beaming, blood flowed, alive and full to the brim, a surge that tingles up your spine, a china-white for the very first time

"Amongst the down tuned heavy guitar rhythms of modern rock, or pro-tooled into oblivion chart pop songs, Lloyds music is like a breath of fresh air saving us from the suffocating corporate mainstream." - Chantelle Calow, The jitty.com
“It’s very rare I give a top score, if I ever have but I have to say that if you never buy another release as long as you live; make sure you get this because it’s sublime.” – Die Shellsuit
"His clutch of influences are worn on a dextrous sleeve, with a voice capabable of evoking - but not aping - many of them in glorious amplification." - Artic Reviews
“Lloyd is a musician of considerable talent.” – God is in the tv
"Lloyd’s craft is never in doubt. Dude can sing soulfully and swings a mean Clapton-esque guitar." Venue Magazine
“The EP is a tough, leathery and surprisingly soulful addition to the classic 'Jeans & Leathers' British Rock canon.” - 2-4-7-music
“No one has signed this guy yet, I want to know why.” -Chris Smith DSzine

Thank you Lloyd for letting me know about your gig on Thursday but alas I can't make it as I am at Birkbeck Uni. taking a course in British Prehistory as part of a 3/4 year evening part-time archaeology course and the lecture always falls on a Thursday night. Really sorry about that, but do let me know of future gigs. And I WILL hold you to playing some country (grin)!! I know the 12 Bar club as have been there on a few occasions in the remote past for gigs.
You're welcome! I'm not a fashion designer but I'm trying to get a scholarship to study in London... Thanxs for your comment and good luck with your stuff!

Jim is my hero, he's the dad of one of the band I manage but I pretend he's my dad, he is a legend. Where you gonna be playing? I'll try and pop down. We're heading off to Europe this year which is muchos excitemento. Then hopefully it'll be the states and japan too. Lemme know when you're playing London babes x

I quit smoking which is the granddaddy of all new years resolutions, that was the only thing I wanted to change, everything else is rockin'. How about you? x
