Tell us a bit about how you got into the music scene?
"I guess a lot of it had to be growing up in Manchester in the 90's really, obviously there was a lot of bands and music around at that time. I guess with the success of bands like Oasis, James and the Happy Mondays, a lot of my friends bought guitars or had guitars lying around the house. One of my closest friends and his older brother started playing guitar and I started learning covers of bands that we loved. Without that I don't think I'd have got into it, there was no music in my family, I didn't come from a big musical household. I guess with that and the fact that the weather was so bad in Manchester!"
