Dec 2003 was when I first started song writing And the first time I ever picked up a guitar and started practising.
Aug 2003 I started going to open mic nights (to mention a few- The Three Fat Fish, The North Bridge Inn, Exeter, The Angel, Thirsty Farmer-Whimple, Ottery St Mary...) singing harmonies at first with mate Callum and a guy called David Lyon until I was able to play guitar well enough to sing on my own.
