BIOGS
Spending my teens self taught on the like of Lynyrd Skynyrd,Led Zeppelinand Dire Straits among others,in the sixth form a bunch of mates and myself through a band together in three weeks and hesdlined a charity in our last week at college.The performing bug had me in its grip!
Move on a couple of years and I'm working one typically quiet night behind the bar at the local leisure centre.To aleviate the boredom,I used to take my guitar and amp in and noodle away to myself.Then one Saturday a middle aged guy walks in after a swim and says "you're pretty good!fancy joining a band?"His name was Spyder a local legendary frontman of the 60's and 70's.
We bacame Instant Credit,and I learnt versatility and how to command an audience from Spyder,who was completely unpredictable musically and performance wise!
Next came a long stint with classic rock band Spiney Norman.This time as frontman and I discovered I had a fair set of pipes on me! Skynt continued in a similar vein,then it was back to guitar and vocals with Rough Edges a more R+B/Bluesy outfit.Finally,The Generators a club and function band playing the most diverse set I'd had to deal with as yet.
Then covid hit and the band folded,but now 6 years on I'm priveleged and excited at the opportunity to front Perfectly Petty. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I do!
