Seemed a good idea to use my own name, when I'm old and senile it'll make it easier to say which band I was in.

Playing live would be great, any gigs you want me at?

Makes music and people like myself more accessable to joe public. You can feel a part of the music scene without having spent a fortune.

Contracts are for the mafia, but who knows where the wind will blow next?

Played in several bands in the 80's and 90's all over the place. I played solo acoustic for a little.

Many and various, Hedges, Martyn, Zepplin, Dylan, Cash, Skynyryd Cooder,Clapton Pierre Bensusan, Pink Floyd anyone with tricks to pass on.

With a guitar and the sun going down behind me.

Various guitars, 1x twin neck washburn, 1x ovation, 2x yamaha's, 1x oakfield (handmade), 1X takamine, 1x martin 12 string, 4 Tacomas and a Naga, fender strat electric, godin sd xt, steinberger 6 string and a PRS Santana and a Mandolin. I use an aa soundcraft amp (handbuilt in germany)and a trace elliot acoustic amp through a zoom 505, yamaha guitar processor (old but what a metal sound) and korg g3 effects pedal. I have now built up a recording setup on the computer using Cakewalk sonar 3 producer, various dxi and vst effects, through a beringer mixing desk and using a Yamaha FX 500 effects modual. I Have just got a guitar synth (wow).I have used many types of strings but I use martin sp's and elixer at the moment. I like martin sp's over elixer, they are sharper on the electrics I use fender bullets, steinberger double balls.
