Hello, thanks for dropping in. I'm a singer/songwriter, producer, arranger etc - you get the picture. I play solo and with my band, play guitar (and sometimes bass) with Prince Fatty, and occasionally appear with other artists. Mostly I write songs and do production work. I've been working professionally in music all my (adult) life - for which I am very grateful. If I had the choice I'd be listening to Marvin sipping a glass of red or making a racket on some stage or other.
The music on this page is a bit of a cross section of what's been going on but I think I wrote (or co-wrote) everything and played something on all of them. I'm sure someone will tell me.
Say hi if you feeling like it...

Love the Ow! near the end as well. Oops may have over done it with the compliments... er come back soon there's a pint on the bar!
Hey buddy, like the new version of Round n round - still missing that ridiculous solo we put on first though! Sorry we didn't hook up at xmas, family stuff was intense. Lets beer it soon!
Hope you are having a Happy New Year so far.......i wanted to let you know i'm playing Brighton this sunday, and if you are not playing yourself......would love to see you at the show?! We play a place called Joogleberry's.......near the sea i think?
Anyway, take care and i hope to see you there.

I passed the bar! Sorry for communication via myspace but it's easy :) I have job too. I'm an official adult and already tired of it all. I want to run away...what do you think of Argentina?
Hi Max! Still love your sounds.Haven't seen you since the Kashmir Klub days (nostalgic sigh). Do you ever come up to play at the Bedford or The Regal Room? Love Roberta x
How's it goin?? Hope this msg finds you well! First off, many thanks again for being my friend - it's a pleasure to be part of your circle and to listen to your awesome music!! Great work!
I'd like to invite you to check out the music vid clip on my space, my song 'Joy Unto My Soul' performed by my Myspace friend Jason Stephenson, as aired on Australian television last week. Might not necessarily be your style of music, but I hope you enjoy the clip anyway - and feedback is always appreciated!! ;)
Thanks so much, Max - hope you've had a wonderful weekend. All the best!

All roads lead to a pont le Veq cheese and a fine red St. Emillion wine with some soft fresh warm bread...mmmmmmmmm GIL-KEZ!!!! peace out from the M E L I S
Heyhey Max, how are you? Just thought I'd drop in to send some warm wishes your way and see what's new on your space. Unfortunately it's getting harder to keep in touch with everyone the more I meet new friends here - but I trust you understand. :) Hope things are going well, keep on rockin' and thanks again for being my friend!
