SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a lead / rhythm guitarist, vocalist, bass guitarist and am just as at home on a big festival stage in outback Western Australia, a pub / club in Newcastle in an indie live music club in the heart of London.

I am looking for a bass player in the Newcastle area performing alt.country (www.hoedownband.com), 60s/70s pop (www.hippieflares.com) or for my originals band (www.heywoodsheroes.com).
