latest news, yes i know its hard to keep up!!

ive decided to stay playing guitar in Metalleeka, yes i do miss a little doing the variation of other music, but i will find that want could be satsified from learning lots of great new stuff at home (loadsa guitar tab at home gathering dust) and also from the jam nights that seem to be quite frequent now(eg Old Isaacs and Pheasant Pluckers)

ive just put too much into this and theres something really special there, and its easy to make a bold step when the pressure builds, and also looking at the calendar in the second half of the year theres a lot better balance gig wise and should really make that work/ personal life / band balance a much better fit for me

see you on the road still with Metalleeka!!

Chuffed to bits to hear it. I'll more than likely be seeing you next week at the Cricketers :)

Hey mister, Glad you changed your mind.
Guitarists eh, fickle bunch of F***ers.
Seriously, I'm well pleased for you. That band really could go places, so stick with it.

All the best my friend,

indeed Steve, i watched the Deep Purple Family trees and the bit where Jon Lord says, "Richie, hes searching for something and i dont know if even he knows what it is or if he can find it", i thought fucking hell thats me lol, so it was time for me to take stock and realise what amazing stuff im involved in before i get known as some kind of Michael Schenker type character ha ha

i have something amazing right in front of me, so its onwards and shredwards :-)))))))))))))))

@Youdsy - maybe WE should do a Megadeeth tribute? You could join Metalleeka each gig - get thrown out for being a bum, and then we could do the Megadeeth stuff!
