I, like Colin, started playing at the age of 11. Formed a band at school which never really graduated to needing a name... actually it had several all of which were instantly forgettable. Early influences included the Beatles and a bit later rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. In my late teens I played on the club circuit with a pop / rock band called Street Scene then disappeared off to college to be "educated" (mainly in the dark arts of drinking heavily and oversleeping!). Got into jazz and later classical guitar and have taken masterclasses with some of the best players around (in the hope that at least some of it might rub off!). Since about 1999 I have played with a European roots music band named Prego, we play at festivals all over the British Isles and abroad. In 2002 I joined up with Colin, playing bass in Top Country Sound... and now guitar in POYNT BLANK. Gear includes: Ibanez RG370 and Fender Stratocaster electric guitars - the Fender has been modified to include a locking trem system, Seymour Duncan hot rails pick-up in the bridge position and a coil tap switch, a Takemine G-series electro-acoustic, Fender cyberdeluxe amplifier and trusty Ibanez tube screemer. See you at a gig soon....
