Valve sound ,valve recording - can't beat it. Fav sounds always changing, but The Pretty Things, The Seeds, The Sonics, The Small Faces, The Kinks, The Who, The Creation......can you see a pattern ! Honest RnB, and most styles originated from.
Sound is most important, believe it or not, always stuck to my sound, that warm valve sound, noone will tell me any different. My VoxAC30, made in Dartford, as used previously by Dick Taylor will stay with me forever...........
Favorite Movies:
Get Carter ('71) Up The Junction ('67) and loads more incl. Topless Mondo etc

bless you my children - hope your recovery is going great- you do realise that I amd supposed to be the illest singer in medway - in every sense maaan!
hey pete, is there a shortage of the discords album, i ordered itfrom amazon coz it says on there it can get it, but ive been waiting nearly two months now, anyway top sounds, your stuff.
It is possible to do a live session but I am in the States now for some time due to my parents poor health and I tend to just come back to the UK to pre-record my shows for the time being. Maybe if yiou keep pestering me we can do a live interview which I can record with Skype and insert it into one of my shows...use the mail@thetrashcan.co.uk email to get in touch and I will send you a contact email so we can touch base more directly.

Thanks Pete! Keep the Medway sound alive! Who cares about the "Manchester", "Liverpool" or wherever sound..It has always been the Medway sound for great rock and roll! (I excluded Brooklyn for a good reason!)
