It all started many years ago with an eight string mandolin. The first band I joined was 3CHORD WONDERS, named by our school teacher. We didn't get very far. My early influences were Judas Priest, Saxon, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and Kiss. After leaving school I joined BLACK STALLION, a 4 piece rock band based in Tinsley Sheffield. Due to the lack of funds and equipment, the band never got out of the practice room. This experience had laid the basic foundations and steered me in the right direction. It taught me that it takes a lot of hard work, and if you are prepared to put the work in, you will get the rewards in the end. Many years later I bumped into the singer from Black Stallion. Steve was singing for a rock covers band called DRIVEN based in High Green Sheffield. He was on a quest looking for a guitarist. You guessed it, I jumped at the chance to play again. Many months of practicing, and a few band member changes eventually paid off. Many thanks to Phil and the guy's from (GYPSY), who helped us get our feet on the gigging ladder. Playing live has gotta be the best feeling ever. After leaving DRIVEN, I formed a rock band called G-FORCE. Forming a band was alot harder than it sounds. No PA System, Lights, Practice room, I never thought it was going to take off. But after a depleated bank balance, it started to come together. But it fell to pieces just as fast as it started. A little while later, I was helping out taking photo's and shooting video's for my mate's band (SNEAKY FEELIN). When one of the guitarists decided he was leaving, My mate Mark asked me if I would like to join. YEAH i jumped straight in. This was it, loadz of hours rehearsing for the onslaught of gigs. Mainly playin pubz, and the odd (no jokin) club.
