Artist picture
It's been described many things over the years: symphonic prog rock, prog rock, classic rock and general progressive rock.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer. I've worked as a session musician and sound engineer. I've played in many different bands up and down the country, covering numerous styles. I now do solo work and currently recording an album, which I'm hoping to take out on the road on a Pubs and Clubs tour at some point. My gear consists of: One Red Special replica, based on Brian May's, played through a Vox AC30 with a Boss Pedalboard, consisting of Boss Equaliser, Ibanez Tubescreamer, Marshall Chorus, Boss Acoustic Simulator (live use only), Boss Digital Delay and Boss Compressor/Sustainer. One 5-string bass, based on my own design and specs, played through an SWR Super Redhead with an SWR Interstellar Overdrive pre-amp. Both guitars were made by Hugh Manson, of Manson Guitars. I also use steel and nylon strung acoustics including a 12-string acoustic, an 8-string mandolin, a Yamaha DJX keyboard and a Rogue 8-string bass.

Story behind the song
The music came first so when I was playing around with it, a mate said it sounded like a cowboy theme. So I took that as my basis and wrote the lyrics about a cowboy who is wanted all over the USA. Think along the lines of "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid"...
Lyrics
Out in the desert Out in the town No law man's Gonna bring me down I'm a man with a gun I'm a man on the run Need a place to hide As the bank job's done Catch me if you can Catch me if you can Catch me if you can 'Cos I'm a wanted man Everywhere I go There's a price on my head They want me alive Or they want me dead But I ain't gonna give 'em That satisfaction What I'm doing is merely A distraction Catch me if you can Catch me if you can Catch me if you can 'Cos I'm a wanted man I've been caught And sent to jail No-one came up And paid my bail Gonna sit here And rot in hell With my stories I've yet to tell Now I've been caught I'm living in hell Now I've been caught I'm living in hell Now I've been caught I'm living in hell Living hell
