Influences
Heck, where do I start? Mostly mainstream pop and rock but I really dig Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Chicago and the likes of Gino Vanelli, Al Jarreau and Seal. My roots go back to before Duane Eddy and The Shadows when I started learning the guitar after having been classically trained on piano and cello. Before I found the bass guitar I was playing double bass in jazz trios and scratch bands. Also played orchestral work at school, university and with Warwickshire Orchestral Society. Formed The Misfits, the first rock band at Uni and atone time was playing in 2 jazz bands and 2 rock bands as well as the Uni orchestra as well as getting my engineering degree. Former member of Complex and True Brit, both Blackpool bands that won recording contracts. Complex's music can be heard on Spotify (Live For The Minute, The Complex Anthology)
