I think my music has changed so much through the years and i hope that i have now found my own sound through the influences of others and life experiences.
Kevin Nash - Goodbye all you gentlemen
I have been writting songs since about 14 pretty much a year or so after first picking up a bass i school. I played in a school band with a few class mates, as most people do. I soon turned my focus from the bass and to guitar where I started writting my own tunes as I had little skill and no patients but wanted to be playing something. I have been playing ( what i would call properly ) since I was 19 with my first gig with the NWIFHE tech band that i joined in 1999 where i was studying popular music. I then progressed to play in various cover bands that led to my first semi origional band BADGE. After that I moved on to writting acoustic tunes for myself and co formed another band called GENTLE BEN. But alas that came to a hault and I was playing solo for a couple of years. I was then approched to play as a standin for CLEAR SHOT a local band whos bass player (Marty McCafferty) very sadly passed on. From a one off gig we then went on to from FIGHTING WITH WIRE and after a year or so with them I went back to playing acoustic. From here I went on to form a band called TRIP FONATNE, with various line ups this band went from pillar to post but to this day is still my favourite band that I have been in with all the different members and fond memories of everyone. Which brings me to where I am now, recording in my flat and enjoying the hell outta it. Hope you like the tunes.

Fine, Kevin. Still learning MySpace! Thanks for the add. By the way, I can really hear the Leonard Cohen influence. To my ear, there's also a bit of HCTLG.
