Since the day I was born I have lived with Rock ‘n’ Roll, and as my Dad Jim, is the Lead guitarist, it was inevitable that one day I would follow his footsteps. I started playing guitar when I was aged 11; I learnt some basic chords but gave it up after about a year. At 16 I left school and started college, as the majority of my studying was carried out during curricular hours, I had evenings and weekends to practice. I began playing modern rock, but as I started attending more of my Dad’s gigs I became more interested in Rock ‘n’ Roll. I began reading rock ‘n’ roll sheet music, but after a few months was able to learn most songs by ear. It was Christmas 2007 that Dad presented me with a Gretsch Electromatic Series guitar which I currently use, as well as various other guitar accessories. In 2008 I decided to upgrade my old amp to a Fender Blues Deluxe.
As my playing became more proficient I was occasionally asked to join The Firebirds on stage to play a couple of numbers, this experience proved to be invaluable when I was invited to play a complete set on Rhythm guitar with them, that gig went really well, so well in fact that my Dad asked me to join full time.
When I’m not playing guitar, I spend time learning new songs and studying I have a keen interest in cars old and new, going to the gym, and visiting Ashton Gate to watch the MIGHTY REDS (Bristol City)
At present I am still attending college studying a degree in Internet Technologies.
I am looking forward to making many new friends on the circuit.
