Fair question but the name speaks for itself!

Yes I play live but that's with KICK THE KAT

The access to a worldwide audience can't be bad!? It's a great opportunity to reach people you wouldn't otherwise reach and also get some feedback.

Maybe, but I think maybe the best way of releasing music now is on my independent record label :-

Mad 4 Blues started as long ago as 2002 when I started writing these blues songs after my band Kick The Kat split up (Kick The Kat's back together now by the way).

Kick The Kat was very much a working covers band so I had lots of ideas scrapping to get out - and out they came with these blues songs - straight from the heart, as they say.

As with most musicians my influences are many. I play various styles of music but on the blues side here goes :- Gary Moore, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Rory Gallagher & Walter Trout, as well as older players & legends such as Muddy Waters, Blind Willie McTell & Elmore James.

1/ A stage.
2/ A recording studio.
3/ Portugal.

These songs were recorded mainly on a Fender Strat but my main instrument is a Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus in lightburst with Burstbucker pick-ups. My amp is an Engl Screamer 50 watt combo with an Engl 2x12 angled cab. When recording I record direct quite a lot via a Line 6 Pod. For other effects pedals I use a Marshall Bluesbreaker, Boss Chorus & Dunlop Cry Baby.

Just want to say thanks for calling in & listening to my music.
