Bio:
I'm 29 years old. I'm left handed although I play right handed instruments. Originally from Wales (UK) I began playing guitar at the age of fourteen. My first band was ChewMagna who I at first co-wrote then later wrote all songs and played guitar for. I then later joined a second band as drummer - Cwmbran's famous "The Awakes". I wrote one song for them but just played the rest.
I had to leave both bands with a tear in my eye to move to Bristol where I studied a degree in Music Systems Engineering.
I have a strong employment history in electronics but have moved on to becoming a language teacher (and enthusiast) and am teaching English in Mexico.
Yes I did become a fan of myself. It happened by accident but then I thought, hell! Why not?? If you aren't a fan of your own music then what's the point? Everyone go and fan yourselves right now.
The album Seven Times Six is now uploaded with track order indicated for download. Originally it was supposed to be thirteen tracks but I had to cut one as it was proving to be too difficult. I sincerely hope that those of you who choose to listen and/or download enjoy the hard work and many years spent writing and producing these songs. I literally did everything myself which goes to show, you don't need a huge budget, a professional studio or a contract with Warner Bro's to put something semi decent out. They're not all as I'd like them to be but with my limited equipment and exhaustion this is as far as I can go with them. Please feel welcome to leave constructive criticisms either on the song pages or to my inbox. Thank you for visiting my page.
Upon my return to Wales I will be recruiting for The Answer Is... I'm hoping I can get my old friends together for this as we used to be really good together. Now that we've matured into our almost thirties we can be more productive. Watch this space closely.
