I'm reliable, consistent, hold myself to high performance standards. I'm also very serious about my music. I'm not a timewaster and I try to avoid them too.
Pretty versatile in terms of style, just don't ask me to front a Black Metal screamer band! Almost anything else considered though, especially if it makes an audience dance/jump and it drives - I'm in it for the endorphins!
I'm a Yorkshireman, mid 40's, but definitely a young soul and always looked younger.
Been in London for 16 years. Originally came down to train in performance. Former actor - but definitely NOT a luvvie! - so plenty of stage time over the years.
Currently with a 2 year-old 90's indie/Britpop covers band that plays around once per month.
Looking to do more, preferably with an originals band.
Can provide live performance videos upon request.
