Early Musical Background

Comes from a highly musical (and bonkers) family, who unfortunately made him take up the violin at an early age, thereby suppressing all interest in music until his late teens. Taught himself piano (to help him get laid at parties - didn't always work!) and guitar and bass (to get in a band!). Founder member of several terrible bands in his hometown of Redditch and a few decent ones during his time at Cambridge. Has had some professional production & engineering experience but in truth prefers song writing & arranging - especially now he's in the kind of band, with a line-up of great talent that can really cut it! Viva Las BAiTus!!!

Musical Likes

Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jethro Tull, The Enid, Yes (yeah, thanks John!!), Teddy Elgar, Vaugn Williams and Gilbert & Sullivan (yeah, thanks Mom!!)
