This is me (Simon Speed) writing and producing music on my own and with my friends, particularly Jonathon Harflett (formerly of Dawnwind).
Band/artist history
I'm a computer programmer and EFL teacher. Some years ago my friends Angie and Jonathon started teaching me to play the guitar. Then I asked Jonathon if I could try setting one of his lyrics to music.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I sometimes sing and strum at my local folk club and even the occasional open mic night. I've even taken to busking now and then in Bedford town centre :-)))

Was browsing true indie music and came over this amazing tune. Very very cool music with that 'mechanic' voice. A real non mainstream goodie!
well, i'm always up for collaborating. i find most people to be too unreliable though. how were you thinking of going about it? i can't really see how our music would be very compatible (well, maybe going down the skinny puppy route maybe though), but i'm willing to try.
we are in love with your very interesting music & we truly enjoy the wild different types of voice fx you always use, im sure you noticed we always use wild voice fx as well!! your sound is different than anything on the radio, please dont ever change your style, it is beautiful!!! ^v^ honestly your sound would be excellent for some movie soundtrax like (a clockwork orange) or some stanley kubrick films!!! and thats a big compliment, we are huge fans of the clockwork orange soundtrack, keep up the good work!!! maybe if your interested you could get together with us on a colaboration some time =-) ^v^ sincerely nurse nosferatu hatchet & the entire vampirates crew ^v^
EXCELLENT, you have such a romantic yet psychedelic sound!!! =-) we love it!!!
BEAUTIFUL, LOVE YOUR STYLE!!!! ^V^
