Artist History I began my musical odyssey by indulging in the sort of racket designed to make ears bleed and to give neighbours heart attacks. The year was 1980 and the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) was the musical scene to be involved with. The likes of Iron maiden, Def Leppard and Saxon gave birth to hordes of denim clad, long haired rockers willing to raise their fists in salute to this great musical phenomenon. It also gave rise to the forming of many bands wishing to emulate their heroes. I was no exception. Lacking any great skill as a lead guitarist I decided to play rhythm guitar and soon discovered I had no great skill at that either. No matter. I had a go anyway. Aftera few years I gave up playing in bands and didn't play much guitar or bass at all. My bass stayed in its case for years except for the occasional airing and I strummed my acoustic guitar every once in a while but that was about it. However I'd always had a hankering to write songs and this stayed with me but my attempts at actually doing it were embarrassing even though it was only me who was listening. Once again I virtually gave up playing. In 1998 I decided to have a serious go at learning the art of songwriting and things are definitely improving in that area. I was also able to learn how to record them thanks to the revolution which is the Personal Computer and also how to distibute it via the internet. It's incredible how things have come together at virtually the same time. Anyway that's where I am now and I hope it will continue. Stay tuned...
