I was taught my first chords at the age of 12 by my cousin in Dublin.
I got my first rock record 'Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous' aged 11, and that was it!!
I have been in various bands from the age of 16 :
Age of Consent, The No-Names, The Risk (with Jimmy from Doves!), Sleepwalker, Tourguide and now ...... Aces N Eights.
I have various musical influences including ...... The Eagles, Skynyrd, Whitesnake,
Free + Bad Co, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Thunder, GnR .. all sorts of country music, Jeff Healy, Walter Trout, Clapton, David Gray.
People I greatly admire include:
Don Henley - The Eagles
