I have been in bands (mostly bass playing and lead singing) since I was 12 playing mostly alternate, classic rock, and indie rock
Currently in an acoustic duo with my friend Susie playing bluesy and indie stuff, we've been looking for a guitarist/bassist and a drummer for a while but so far haven't found anyone brilliant to fill in the gaps
Used to playing paid pub gigs but only playing free stuff at the mo
