Job: On-site Service Engineer for ICL
Started playing: My Dad first has a picture of me with a guitar in my hands at the ripe old age of four (it was tiny but still a 'real' guitar), but it wasn't until I was eight that I really started when a kindly next door neighbour donated a cheapo classical to learn on.
Main gear: Black USA Fender Strat Plus (my favourite), tiny Woolworths Spanish guitar, crap cheapo classical, no-name steel-strung acoustic, home-made electric Strat-type (made by me for a GCSE Design project out of a pinewood goalpost), the World's Worst Bass Guitar (found in a skip, left in a garage to rot for a decade then fixed up by me), red Squier Strat, Yamaha Pacifica 303 12-string, home-made bizarro pedalboard, Marshall Valvestate 8080.
Favourite music: Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Kraftwerk, The Chemical Brothers, The Aphex Twin, Van Morrison, Oasis, Peter Green, Tom Morello (of RATM), Billy Corgan, The Prodigy, Steve Cropper.
