Do you play live?
Yes, as often as I can, in various venues throughout England and Wales. I love it, it's the best part of being a singer, especially when the audience really likes the show - one of the best feelings in the world.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Unsigned artists and bands can gain greater exposure and get a step up the ladder to success.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Duh, yes! I'd have to be mad not to. Do I look mad or something?
Band History:
I started learning guitar when I was 12, and soon I started a band with friends. After a few lineup and name changes over 3 or 4 years we were still terrible so I left. I started to concentrate on singing and songwriting and gradually worked my voice up, while writing better songs than the pap that had previously come out of my pen.
Since then I've just carried on, always trying to improve and find new things to do.

Favorite spot?
Cumbria (England) and Lampeter (Wales) - my two homes. Devon is beautiful as well, and Pompeii is amazing.
Anything else...?
Monkeys are great aren't they? Well I think they are.
