LEFTY'S CD NOW AVAILABLE CLICK HERE! What can I tell you about me? What would you like to know? I was born in Edmonton, North London on 9th April 1971 and was kicking around on a piece of ground in my hometown, waiting for something or someone to show me the way for many years. I've had guitars ever since I was a baby chimpanzee, but didn't really start to learn until 1997, when I found the blues, found a girlfriend and started to write music and perform at blues and acoustic clubs in North London. Everything started to lose momentum in 2000. I had legal wrangles with the company I worked for (who no longer exist - I believe in karma), lost my girlfriend (we are still friends) and became disenchanted with London. I still can't see why people think London is so fantastic. I escaped from London in December 2002 to the fine city of Norwich and I sat on my hands until the Summer of 2006, when I accepted an invite to a barbecue at Bakka Studios in Mattishall. Within a few months I had met lots of muso friends, recorded an album and was helping to run Go Acoustic . I've helped a number of musicians get their music to a wider audience, including my good friend and guru, Phil Peacock. I am a web technician by profession, but far more enjoy the challenge of doing web, design and predominantly promoting LIVE music projects in Norfolk and around the worldwide web under the wider umberella of my Play The Music Sonic Nation website and through running the monthly Acoustic Showcases at the Norwich Arts Centre. MySpace has brought me multitudes of new friends across East Anglia and beyond, some as far flung as California. Everyone has been very supportive and I am now getting ready to get back into the saddle and write, record and perform once more, under the persona of Lefty and also work with other musicians. I am also now on SoundClick. |
