"I got my 1st Rolling Stones album Gimme Shelter on Decca when I was about 14years old and been into the music of the Rolling Stones ever since.
I have played guitar since I was about seven years old and professionally singing and playing for nearly twenty plus years in Scotland touring latterly in an Abba Tribute band.
When I moved back to England (Birmingham) 12 years ago I gave up the guitar for a few years in order to build a house, a business and help Sally (the 6th /other band member) with her needs.
I love the Cloned Stones not only for the music but for the nights out socialising fun with the lads and friends what a great bunch!
I am interested in media production and often do videos for other groups and artists, I hope in the next few months to do stuff on my new to be web site
www.livemusicbirmingham.co.uk ~ to promote and educate musicians/artists bands etc and provide a platform to encourage the music scene in and around Brum –what a great City!
I also do social media ie Facebook and have several sites The Cloned Stones
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Birmingham-UK/The-Cloned-Stones/118457381510750
FB page which lists the bands upcoming gigs & other band related stuff for fans etc
Also a site to help and encourage guitarists of all styles DON’T FRET
http://www.facebook.com/pages/DONT-FRET/131681623547223 ~ SOME TRULY WORLD CLASS PLAYERS ENDORSE ME/this site though God alone knows why!
I have a collection of guitars and amps and try to get the ‘genuine’ sound wherever possible to make the musical experience realistic for the audience and band.
Somebody recently described me as an ‘ace guitarist’ I’m not but I do try hard to be the best chancer, dancer and romancer out there!"
