i write the songs and play all the instruments, 
Guitars, Drums, Bass,percussion and vocals

Band/artist history

i'm 21. playing drums since about 8, Guitar- 12 i've always been afraid of singing but i've attempting it for a few years now. i just piss about on the bass to be honest...

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Yes, unfortunately i dont have a band but i play an acoustic version set mainly in Galway, Ireland I love it...its not as fun as havin a full band and theres more pressure because i'm on my own but it has to be done....otherwise i'll just be rotting on the couch or watchin someone else play... special moments...... Playing a concert in France at the AuxerrEXPO and getting a great reaction from a foreign audience...and signing a few autographs...that was both very weird and amazing at the same time!!!

Your musical influences

Everything blues and jazz. Nirvana, Metallica, Johnny Cash, primus, refused...rodrigo y gabrielle...Creedence Clearwater Revival. basically i'm into a lot of music that i can't be arsed to list and at the end of the day, everything that goes through my concious mind from the moment i get up til the moment i sleep influences me! There's no point in being cocky about it and no point in limiting yourself!

What equipment do you use?

at the moment. ESP Mh-301, 1969 sunburst solid Strat (my dads), Brunswick electric acoustic (thats battered to bits) , Harley Benton active Bass, Roland TD-12 v-Stage drums, Wuhan hand-hammered Cymbals (live) Korg- D16 Xtended Definition recording studio, 1970's Marshall 50 watt valve combo (also dads) a banjaxxed Marshall Valvestate 80 and a shitty Crate 60watt, i have other guitars other bits n pieces

Anything else?

well i set up my new home studio in september 2005, i recorded a load of rough songs but i've got 4 decent demos worth showing to people "Must We"..."The Buskin' Song"..."The Rant (Acoustic version)"..."Anonymous Slander"....i've got alot of new songs now that i've gigged acoustically and just need to discipline myself to get the head down and record them. i have a terrible attention span!
