Definitely 'music for grown ups...
Do you play live?
Live performance is the 'real deal' for me and the recording is primarily a way of moving on to new material.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Loads of opportunity to get through to new people but also a lot of 'noise' - easy to get lost in the crowd.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the circumstanes.
Your influences?
Prog rock like Yes, Pink Floyd and Gentle Giant, folk rock and roots music ranging from Ry Cooder to Steeleye Span, Jazz rock from Weather Report to Steely Dan.
Favorite spot?
Bondi Beach
Equipment used:
My main squeeze is a PRS CE 24 through a Mesa Boogie Reverb Rocket and analogue Boss pedals. But also play a Variax 700 through a Pod Live XT, a Roland GR300 and various acoustics.
