I started my 1st job and thought 'God, there must be more to life than this'! I joined my 1st band Godz Autograph and played in some pubs, then Transmission and played in some more pubs!
Carried on soldiering away in bands. Formed the Finger Puppets - wrote lots of songs and played many gigs, had many drinks.
Carried on writing music - can't stop really - it's in the blood!
Current projects include:
Finger-Puppets - Pundie & Mindie with a dash of Glop!
Fractured? - a dark slice of alternative indie rock.
Calling Earth - an instrumental, ambient electronic, neo classical experience.
Scream Arena - Good Old Classic Rock!
A lot of the music I write has been described as 'like something you would hear in a Film or Video game' and that is something I would love to get into.
I guess I just want to make a living out of the thing that I enjoy so much - writing music.
If anyone can help, please drop me a line and we can have a natter!

I was born in York, England in the mid 60's. My first musical memories were that of the Beatles 'Please Please Me' on an old reel to reel tape recorder. I liked it.
In the 70's I remember loving the glam thing - Slade, Sweet, Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Suzy Q, Mud and Gary Glitter. Missed Marc Bolan for some reason, which was a shame as he was quite good, really!
Bought my 1st LP when I was 9 - Queen II. I had heard Seven Seas of Rhye on the radio and absolutely loved it, so I saved all my pocket money up and bought it (for around 3 pounds I seem to remember). I got it home and gently eased it onto the turntable and like a ten ton sledge-hammer Ogre Battle ripped the place apart. I still rank Queen II as my favourite album ever.
After Queen I had a brief romance with Abba (puberty and all that) and then it was onto Deep Purple, Rainbow, Yes, Led Zeppelin and Jean Michel Jarre. Never really left these bands to be honest. Late 70's NWOBHM came along and I went with it. Trying (but failing) to avoid the 'uncool' bands like Adam and the Ants, Duran Duran and Frankie Goes to Hollywood!
Punk passed me by, I must admit. Love the Sex Pistols and the Damned now but never really got it at the time...
I started my 1st job after college and thought 'God, there must be more to life than this'! I quicky joined my 1st band Godz Autograph and played in some pubs, then Transmission and played in some more pubs!
Like a breath of fresh air Alternative music crashed in and gave rise to many great bands and influences - New Model Army, Cure, Psychedelic Furs, Comsat Angels, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Spear of Destiny.. to name a few.
Carried on soldiering away in bands - from Metal bands to Funky bands to Folk bands to Alternative bands - played many more pubs!
Formed the Finger Puppets in 2000 - wrote lots of songs and played many gigs, had many drinks.
