in his own words
 
it was europe’s “the final countdown” & whitesnake’s “1987” albums that introduced me to hard rock. as i explored this kind of music my love for the genre grew & wanting to take up an instrument soon followed.

but it’s not the only style of music i like as i have quite a varied taste.

i don’t really consider myself much of a musician, i really think i’m more of a songwriter, as composing - followed by performing live - is what i enjoy most about being in sacred heart.

i’m very proud of the songs on “lay it on the line” and what it achieved (as a demo!) but i'm looking forward to going back and re-recording the songs to the professional production standard they deserve.

i can’t really thank everyone - who has supported us over the last few years - enough. It’s very much appreciated & we couldn’t continue on without our old & new chums.

look forward to “shaking” with you very soon!
