Here are some words from the interview:


What is your favourite style of Music?

Blues, I’ve always listened to Blues since ’68, John Mayall, Alexis Korner, too many to name.

What got you into the Guitar in the first place?

I’ve always wanted to play Guitar like Peter Green, Martin Barre (Tull), Rory Gallagher, but never got around to it until last year.

What is next for you now?

The next grade and hopefully pass a good grade

What do you get out of playing the Guitar?

Satisfaction and pleasure it keeps you thinking and listening to Music in a different way.

Do you see yourself performing to an audience one day?

Don’t know, not for a while.

Many thanks to Steve for his hard work and time.
