Biography

I come from a musical family and so have always sang from an early age.
I learnt to play guitar when i was about 13 with a wide selection of Irish Trad, Acoustic Folk, 60's Pop and of course ROCK MUSIC

My early influences being Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day, Oasis, Ugly Kid Joe.
Later influences of 60's and 70's Rock, Led Zeppelin, Tho Who, The Stones, etc...

After a brief spell of not playing and listening to a lot of Rap and RnB (Eminem, Tupac etc...) I got in to Tenacious D and started touring with my brother as a Tenacious D tribute at parties.
We also spent a few years giging as an acoustic duet doing alsorts of stuff.

I also have infleunces from Newton Faulkner to Boyce Avenue to Foo Fighters
