Greetings!

I have been writing for about fifteen years, but it was only in 1998 that I actually took up an instrument! Up until then it was a case of singing melodies onto tape, then asking a variety of musicians I knew to help me out with the music. Many thanx to Gordon Lamb, Tim Hawkins, Jonathan Hurdle, Louisa James and Jim O'Brien!! I gradually lost contact with all these fine people, so for the last seven or so years I have had to cope on my own, but I think that's the best way to learn.

For the last four years I have been playing bass guitar in various bands, in various churches in Plymouth.

I became a Christian in 1995 at university, when I finally realised that I couldn't run things on my own - I was in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing, for the wrong reason - so I asked Jesus to take control. My life situation then completely changed and I've never gone back. I have tried to write my story into a song, "The Day It Rained Colours"

My aim as a writer is to try to give the world a different perspective from a Christian - a personal view, which includes praise, honesty, anecdotes, metaphors and doubts. It includes the good times and the bad times, as well as a lot of the observations I have made about life in general. Of course, the tunes are good too! Check out the MP3 clips on this site.

My main musical tastes are all things indie/alternative/grunge/tuneful rock and my major influences are: The Strawbs , Bob Dylan , A House , The Cure and The Tragically Hip.

The latest album, "Twisted" takes a new direction creatively, and is my best yet. It includes all the new instruments I have learned: Mandolin, Mandola and Harmonica, as well as the good old guitar and bass.
