Biography
"My first professional gig at age 16 was playing support for the great Jack Bruce in a packed, sweaty night club in Scotland – Jack was fronting a high powered, rocking 5 piece… Lord knows how we got the gig, I think the promoter was desperate haha. It was a small club so we all had to share the kitchen as a makeshift dressing room – quite an experience in itself. Our 20 minute set went down surprisingly well thankfully ie. we made it out alive, and the whole experience was seminal in defining my commitment to music.
My influences are many and varied, gleaned...
