There's a revised look to the site....it was time for an update....please excuse the homeage to Joe Satriani in my menu buttons, I'll change them the moment someone comes up to me and outplays him...until then they stay for now...!!

This section of the site is just for showing what I get up to away from work...it's a little self indulgent, but what the hell.....it shows there's more to life than guitars!! Saying that, there's the odd guitar pic in here...

Sad news....Courtney my polo van has gone to the great scrap yard in the sky....she failed fairly badly on her MOT, so it was time to say goodbye. Driving the M6 without a brake servo was no fun anyway. She's made way for something that can carry guitars a little more safely ....well, when my bed cover arrives (i.e they wont take my head off if I have to brake suddenly, as with a van). Yes it's Yank, yes, it's Left Hand Drive, yes, it's huge....nearly 6 foot high and 17 feet long...why? Because I can...ok?

The Missus and myself at Seneca lake, NY, USA.

Meet the other girls in my life....Daisy.....Daisy Duke (Remember those shorts...well my Daisy has curves too!). Ok she's not a substitute for a real female, but she'll do for when the missus is busy.

And....Gixy....she's fast and has a nasty side, but she's a scream to ride....literally.

She's a real goer !!!......
She's Cheap !!!......
Sometimes she's really dirty !!!.....
She carries all my gear and never bitches !!!......
Shame she's a Van !!! Ah well, you can't have it all......

The last female in my life....again, with wheels !! Courtney...why? Courtney Love sings for Hole, Polo mints have holes, and my van is a VW Polo...see how my mind works?....No. me neither!

After a number of months away, I have returned to these fair shores. I apologise to all that sought me during this time to find I was absent....however, I had the chance to vist New Zealand and the USA, so I took the opportunity whilst I could....passing from Summer Down Under, Down Under to Sub-zero Winter in the space of a day....amazing what modern travel can do....

Please see the following pics...........
