motty's profile

Singer / songwriter / bassist / pianist / guitarist, in no particular order. Been playing piano since I was five, guitar and bass since I was twelve. I was lucky enough to have been bassist in a gigging covers band at the age of thirteen, and have been playing, mainly as bassist, in one band or another, across a range of styles ever since.

Since Jan 2006 I've been working on a combined band/webcomic project based around my own songs, called 'Fit and the Conniptions'. The first CD was released in July 2007, with me on everything; No fixed line-up live just yet but I am lucky enough to have worked with a pool of fine musicians for the various gigs over the last two years - usual line up drums / bass / sax / guitar, dropping to acoustic trio / duo from time to time; always interested in talking to people that might want to get involved - see below for specific recent needs.

Bands I've been involved with lately include My Scarlet Darling (now, sadly for me, back in Australia) and Vivachi (largely on hiatus at the moment as other band members are on tour most of the time with other bands) so I'm currently available for interesting things to get involved with. Also doing the London Underground busking thing at the moment, which is not the worst gig in the world by any means.
