In less than 50
words describe your music, your band (if applicable) and yourself.
Just a normal(?) working bloke
lucky enough to be in a band of like-minded blokes with no ego’s, no attitude,
no bullshit, no politics. Just a shared love of making our own style of heavy
Aussie rock.

What do you hope the next 12 months holds for you?
Keep jammin’ with my Stone Cold brothers, more new songs, more gigs. Hopefully this covid f#@cks off and the live music scene opens up again.
Stone Cold regularly play live and their shows are excellent. The bastard son of Black Sabbath and Motorhead, their music is heavy but it’s “classic rock” heavy (in a modern way!!!).
