"I'm a songwriter rather than a technical musican although I have been playing guitar now several years! I have many influences from African music to folk, jazz and the latest pop hits and bands such as Snow Patrol and Kings of Leon plus Fleetwood Mac and The Eurythmics & special songwriters such as Steve Knightly, Mike Silver, Billy Joel, George Michael, Elton John and The Beatles. I also liked David Grey's White Ladder album, love Show of Hands, Roxy Music, the Doobie Brothers, Michael Jackson, and Led Zepplin.

"I have been involved with bands and singing since I can remember, taking vocal lessons at an early age and being steered towards musical theatre. However, I chose a different path and have worked with local cover bands and artists ranging from pop, funk, rock and dance music. I love to be challenged vocally and singing in folk clubs was an early highlight for me. It was there I was truly inspired by hearing some of the most genuine artists giving the most memorable and heart felt performances that remain with me to this day. My influences include Nina Simone, Carol King, Simon and Garfunkel with my favourite bands of the moment being U2 and Keane."

I started my musical career at the tender age of 3 when my Mom bought me my first instrument . . . a metal drum! Once mastered, I made it my mission to bash the living daylights out of it, especially when things went quiet, just to make sure everyone knew I was about. I only had that drum for a week before it was replaced by a rubber yo yo!
I decided I was going to be a guitarist after playing drums from the age of 9. I was 13 when I had my epiphany and started with an old acoustic which was a battered old thing. I had to get my parents, who had forked out on a full adult drum kit 3 years earlier to once again fork out more cash to satisfy my new indulgence. With drum kit sold, I became the proud owner of a 12 string guitar! I continued to play drums, never quite getting the noisey Erk inside of me until I was 18.
College daze saw me uplift my skill as a guitarist by joining a jazz band and a sixties type original band. Both honed my playability as a lead and rhythm guitarist. In essence I became hooked and I now had a semi acoustic doubling my guitar collection!
Leaving college I joined a band in Telford called Spectrum and gigged and toured with them for 3 years before joining a funk band called Raw. Our manager was a guy called John Camp. He was the bassist for Renaissance, a 70s band who had hits, one such one called The Northern Lights. I got into session playing by the back door, starting at the Sinewave studios in Birmingham which lead to sessions in London over a 4 year period. I had a Fender Strat and a Gibson Les Paul, plus my 12 string at this time and because I had a 12 string I got loads of work.
After sessioning I went back to being a quiet family man, teaching guitar, rather than playing on stage. I taught over a 12 year period, then got hauled out of retirement by my great friend Max McKee and we formed the Killa Kangorrillaz. This was by far the best rock covers band I had ever been involved with. It was a hectic 6 years of gigging, partying, having a laugh, just general awesome times and the memories still make me smile. The mickey taking was brutal, but so, so funny. I moved down to Blandford from my hometown of Telford, Shropshire in 2005 and the music took me in another direction. I joined a Celtic folk band called the Tors, which after 10 months fizzled out to nothing, which was a shame as the music was good, but keeping members together was always a major problem. Next came Roadhouse Bound, a dirty down heavy metal original rock outfit and in that band I felt most content. The music was spot on and I’m sure with the right management that band would have made the big time. Roadhouse are doing their last gig in August for the same reasons the Tors couldn’t stick together. A real shame in my opinion.
I have been privileged to have such a musically fun time and I thank my lucky stars for bringing me here, relatively unscathed and still hanging onto my sanity. My influences change. Essentially I am a rock and roller. I love heavy metal, especially Sabbath, Maiden and Lizzie. I love diversity and the challenges it brings. Peachy Jane will give me those challenges. Beca has such a lovely touch to writing songs which are not easy to play, but who said anything about easy playing and good tracks having the monopoly on great sound? Just come and see us and find out what we’re all about.
