So then, w hat’s the band name and what you ‘do’ in the band?

“Every Second Friday; write most of the band’s music while disguising myself as a bassist on stage.”

“Dire Straits. Actually, just Mark Knopfler.”

What can a punter expect from your live show?

“Some red-hot vocals, solos and a really tight hard rock and blues show. A few quirky covers out of nowhere.”

What you got to sell CD-wise?
