axeman's profile

Electric guitarist, playing from the age of 14. Began with influences from US blues and British blues scene players in 1960s. Played in various blues, soul and prog rock bands, then co-formed Fusion Orchestra, turning professional and touring with the band for around four years. Signed to EMI, making one album (Skeleton In Armour) at Abbey Road (still available on eBay!). www.myspace.com/fusionorchestra73

Semi-pro bands after Fusion Orchestra included Rampant Robot, with various ex-Fusion Orchestra members. Took a beak during the punk era.

Co-founder and guitarist of Voodoo HIghway, then Spinedance -- playing with some of the best musicians I've ever worked with and best descibed as performing a mix of bluesy/funky/rocky material.

CURRENT: Have now co-formed Fusion Orchestra 2, to play the major pieces from the album Skeleton in Armour, plus new material in the same vein.

Current Guitars: Gibson Firebird V, Fender Texas Special Fat Strat, Fender Fat Telecaster. Amps: Marshall TSL 602 Valve Combo with 2x12 Marshall extension cabinet. Vox AC30 (Tweed) given to me by Bryan Adams (yes - THE Bryan Adams). Cry Baby wah-wah, plus various stomp boxes. Guitars that slipped through my fingers: Gibson Firebird III non-reverse (used on Skeleton In Armour album); Fender Mustang; Gibson Flying V, among others.

Bands and players I'm currently enjoying include: Joe Bonamassa, Jonny Lang, Tinsley Ellis, Shannon Curfman, Ana Popovic, Government Mule, Derek Trucks, The Allman Bros, The Bluesbreakers, Vince Converse, and (always) Carlos Santana.
