Hello and thanks for taking the time to check me out...so to speak! Please let your opinions be known on my message board...good or bad!
Based in South Lanarkshire near Glasgow, Scotland, I'm a bass guitarist by trade but have flirted with the idea of branching out on my own. Formerly Bass guitarist of Hamilton bands Cluster & Cooran. Currently writing my own material.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Songwriter/Bass Guitarist/Occasional Backing Vocalist. Composer of acoustic rock/folk ballads/easy listening epics....
This stuff is all my own and each part is played by me
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I haven't played live in a few years now. It's becoming more and more difficult to find people in my area with the same musical interests and creative ideas. Therefore, I have been concentrating on my own compositions. Most gigs have been performed at Harleys in Hamilton & the usual suspects in & around Glasgow!
Your musical influences
I draw influences from everywhere though I guess I'm an Indie kid. Mostly influenced by the likes of The Stone Roses and the whole Manchester music scene. Guns n' Roses, Skunk Anansie, Linkin Park, Otis Redding and Jamiroquai are among my favourites though David Gray meets Turin Brakes seems to describe my style of writing....but decide for yourself!
Anything else?
Currently playing bass in Indie/Rock outfit Five Sticks of Dynamite!
