Hello chaps,
I am Jim from London England. I originally hail from Guernsey Channel Islands.
I was born there in 1976. my grandad was a great keyboardist but I was unable to play anything.
However I was in love with guitars from about age 8.
I joined my first band Dizzy Moth at 16 with some guys from school, Jimmy, Danny and Andy.
The used to have a lead coming out of my old encore straight to nowhere off the back of the stage.
Anyway, this wasn't getting the girls so I had to learn to play.
I have owned all sorts of guitars in my time and have worked at the for nearly 20 years.
Now I can just about play.
I live in London and rehearse at least twice a week and gig at least once a month with various bands, usually on bass or vox. I have recently joined a four piece where i get to play guitar too.
After a 5 year search for the right guitar, I think I am now there.
My influences are Thurston Moore, Joey Santiago, Lou Reed and all the classics, Hendrix, Gilmore, Strummer , Jones, Slash, Angus.
I iwll post some new stuff when it is recorded but recently I have been involved in
