I play a range of music from rock to funk to grunge to blues to country to folk...well I try and play everything. Some people say I have got my fingers in too many pies but I just love to play. The songs you will here on here are my solo offerings with just the piano and acoustic guitar. I also play with some other bands in and around Sheffield............
At the moment I mainly play bass and piano for alternative metal/rock band " Machines " I also do some other things...............
guitar and vocals with rock/grunge band " SOB_ " bass for blues/rock/country band " Street Survivors ". Piano/guitar and vocals for " Dave Woodcock and the Dead Comedians " front a 7 piece funk band " Jurestiction ", Play piano for " Chris Murphy and Boxer Genius " Recently got back together with alt/funk band " bigwilliam " for some one off shows..........
I also have a home studio " W459 " that was built with the help of Neil Carden in 2005. As well as recording SOB_, Dead Comedians and my own songs in there I have also had some song writers and other artists in to recording strings and all sorts.
