Started touring professionally and internationally in 1989 and have not stopped, not until March 2020 when it all ground to a halt.

I got a guitar when I was about 10, listened to lots of AC/DC, took my guitar apart to see how it worked and tried to make a better one, left school, formed a band, roadied for friends, worked in a recording studio for a bit, then in 1989 a production manager asked me to go on tour with Faith No More and be their guitar tech.. and that was that.. 32 years later I’m still getting away with it and wondering what I’m going to do when I grow up. And somewhere in the middle of all the touring, I moved from Hull to London to Nashville, got married, had a daughter, then moved to Joshua Tree, CA.
