Personal Stuff
35 years old. Married and living in Wellesbourne, near Stratford, England - although originally from Brighton, Sussex.
After multiple redundancies with games studios getting closed during the past (if EA can't keep a studio open, then who can?), and then trying to be a full time musician, I'm back full time in Video Games development, this time at Codemasters. Past work includes work as a media composer and sound designer (Dungeon Keeper 2, Theme Park World, Formula 1, Sudeki, Dark Omen, Cyberspeed).
Other Stuff
My evening time is spent trying to earn cash from anyone who will pay me half decent money, be it from public or private gigs, weddings, functions, etc. etc. Previous history includes Moondance, Silver Dogs, Danko, Tricks Upon Travellers, K-Passa, Blue Horses, C64 Audio, Stuck in D 80's, Pepe Delux, Massive Attack, Laura Kenny, and Divine Comedy.
Just remember, there's more to a real performance than just standing dead still on stage looking like you've got stage fright. If you want someone to give not only a musical performance, but an entertaining visual performance.. then the madfiddler is the one to call! (but you have to like purple people ;)
Who I'd like to meet: Any string players of any style, any bands who have a string instrument in their line-up or recording, basically anyone needing a mad-fiddling purple bloke. Or, I can do weddings and parties and wear one of those suit things ;)

Hi, I wanna wish you a happy 4th! There's a National Anthem playing as you open up Vio7th profile... exactly how I do it live... and yes, all 3 violins voices are triggered just like what you hear when I play it out there. Lots of tap-dancing on the pedal board, but hey - no overdubbs ;) I think there are more then 30 patch changes in 90 seconds or something crazy like that.
Into the Sounds of the Fiddle, Vibrations of the Strings, Into the Light of the Moon, Glowing in the Night Sky, Into the Light of the Sun, Shining on the Waves of the Sea.
