I started after I went to see a friend play some Nirvana numbers with his band. I just loved the atmosphere and felt a real admiration for the musicians on stage creating it.

As a kid I'd always loved the guitar....I think Mike Oldfield was my first real guitarist coz my parents frequenly played his records. And I enjoyed Simon and Garfunkle because their stuff was poetic and had feeling and attitude without being noisy and provocative. So after hearing my friend play i though 'Ive been waiting far too long to start the guitar, it's the intrument I truely love' so I went to my friend and asked him to teach me.
