ABOUT
I guess playing guitar is what I've always done and its what I do best.
I am currently the guitarist The Junkhouse Dog Blues Band (with Luke Shaw- voted best British blues Blues Harp player 2 years running)
I've also been heavily involved in the Manchester Jam scene for quite a while. Currently hosting and house guitarist for two of Manchester City Centre's best Jam nights and occasionally playing lead guitar and backing vocal for Chris Leyhe's( ex Icicle Works)band, Oyster.
