I have a residency at the Tap and Spile in Darlington. I play once a fortnight on a Friday night from 9pm to 1:30am. It is constantly packed out, quite long hours but pushes me to my limits which I love
My main influences are the small faces, paul weller, the who, the kinks, blur, otis reading. Mainly the mod scene
My main guitars at the moment are an SG and a 335, and a Fender Deluxe amp
