To me not being in a band, feels a bit like being single. I don't feel complete, it feels like something is missing the whole time and it drives me crazy.
I need to be in a band much the same way I need to eat.
A wise old guitarist called Bruce Roberts once said to me, "nipper, I wish I could retire but I just love performing so much it's never going to happen. And those bloody organisers know that, which is why I get paid peanuts"

I was out the music game for a few years after I got married, but soon I felt it calling me, I felt a void in my life that could only be filled with music.
An old friend phoned me up to ask if I could run a jam session for her in my local boozer. I jumped at the chance as it got me out playing again, and I met some great people starting off their music career's. Which drove me to start up my site Guitarlickstudio. But it didn't fully scratch the itch. I wanted to write, and gig. I missed the excitement and it was destroying me slowly.

A guy at work was in an originals band, he said they were considering taking on another guitarist. I loved their music, the sort of band I would go and see. So I dropped a few hints and waited.
I think it was about six months later, out of the blue, he invited me into his office to listen to a new demo CD they put together. It was very catchy, melodic rock, one of the tracks called pentacle felt like prog metal. Then on the other end of the scale was cold road. A clean, finger picked balled. I loved all the tracks instantly. Then he asked me if I would like to come jam with them. Of course I jumped at the chance.
And that was how I first met the fantastic bunch of guys collectively known as spytfyre.
