Having played in many bands (in my younger years) I have more recently written and produced music for a number of projects. I have become too lazy to be lugging gear around for rehearsals and gigs so now just want to have fun in my studio. I can't sing to save my life, so for me it is mostly about the music, but I'm interested in meeting singers who want to do covers creatively, write songs and try new ideas. I'm not so interested in copying what has been done before note for note but taking ideas that have been used and develop them into something new but recognisable. I am not an expert at every instrument so may involve other musicians as needed. If anyone wants to give me their contact details I'm happy to keep them in case a suitable project comes along. I haven't been musically active for quite a while so looking to rekindle the fire!
Mostly I'm looking to work with singers for fun, that might turn into something great. I'm not looking to get famous or rich, just enjoy the journey.

Influences
I basically like most genres of music but put an electric guitar in my hands and mostly blues and rock will come out, however I was originally classically trained and can play other things with varying degrees of success. However, from a music production point of view I am very open minded and have produced a CD of planetarium music (Interesting challenge) and messed around with all sorts of styles and instruments. Band wise I love the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Joe Bonamassa, Train, Lawson, The Saw Doctors .... The list is long and depends on my mood.
