Background: I started playing Guitar when I was 13 after hearing Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and Metallica's Sad But True in the music block at school. I went home and picked up an old guitar and tried to play. My Dad overheard me and went out and and bought me a book of chords. That was it, I was hooked for life.

After years of playing the guitar and working as a chef I met the new chef who was starting (Steve Withe), we got talking and he told me he liked writing songs, we talked about having a "jam" session together but nothing ever came of it. Two and a half years later we bumped into each other once again and we arranged to meet up. A couple of weeks went by and my Mom and her friend (Terry) put us forward for a charity gig raising money for Acorns.

So Steve and I talked it over and were going to do it on our own in acoustic style but we also thought about forming a band so rang up Dean Lomas (drums) and the rest is history.
