About me: Ive been playing since I was 12 and started in a band as soon as I could play a little. We were together for 4-5 years mainly playing cover songs, but as we got older and more experienced we wrote our own songs to add to the set. We played classic rock eg, Bon Jovi, Journey, Free etc. I also taught bass guitar lessons as a second job when I was 15. We made EP’s in the band and got our name around our hometown, but it didn’t really change. Too many gigs and not much to show for it in my opinion. I joined a heavy metal band on the side for a change, but in the end I packed both bands in as they took over my life!
I moved to York at 16 and didn’t play the bass as much anymore. I've started playing it again daily and now I'm with SoundHouse I'm wearin’ my fingers in again!
