"I used to play bass in a band called Jeffrizovotlly (we got the name of the side of a lorry) in the mid 80s playing original songs with an ambition to make peoples ears bleed around Barnsley. After that I went to college to study Music Technology and played guitar for a band with a longer and sillier name. After a career direction change, and many years of travelling around the UK and some foreign parts, I found myself living in Coventry and decided to pick up my guitar and join a band again.”
