I'm a huge fan of blues, country, rockabilly, jazz and most American music. And lots of other music too. I enjoy listening to any genre as long as it's done well but I like playing the above the best. One of my many heroes is Leo (Da Vinci) Fender.
I also like real ale, fresh air and doleful pulp crime novels.
Please get in touch to chat about shared influences or enquire about guitar lessons in the North staffs area or nearby, or just to say Hi. Will add more music on a monthly basis (if I don't put it on here it just gathers dust, people), and any gigs as and when. Please listen to my stuff and let me know what you think.. Good or bad, I can take it! .. and if not I can always delete ya!
