History:

I listened to ‘Killers’ by Iron Maiden at 17 and decided that I wanted to play guitar just like Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. So, I went to my local music shop and blew a week’s wages on a cheap guitar and amp and locked myself in my bedroom for six months. After this time I formed my first band called ‘Near Miss’. Crap name I know, but we actually did a few gigs before we broke up. Since then I have been in a few different bands, playing different instruments with varying styles.

Bands:

Exentrix, Crying Out Loud, Jak-The-Lad, Head Rush, Smokin’ Flo Casino, Xantai, The Stout Men, Nemesis, Stone Cold and finally Skint.
