Do’s on tour - give it 100% . The full bollox
Don’t do on tour . Don’t lose that Fender Bass !!!

Last record bought . The punk masterpiece ‘comfort to me ‘ by Amyl & the Sniffers
Favourite place to play live . Rebellion festival Blackpool . No better feeling than playing to your friends and peers

Spinal tap experience . This will happen on my first TMW tour with GBH … guaranteed !
Best festival . Rebellion … by miles
Describe yourself in one sentence . Passionate punk rock obsessive
Why this means war ? . I was lucky enough to catch their set at punk and disorderly Berlin . They blew me away and I thought they were a band of huge global potential , so when I got the phone call to join .. there was only one answer !
Cock sparrer vs sex pistols . RAMONES MAN !… seriously pistols although I am more likely to listen to a Sparrer record
Free beer for punks why ? … no , let them have Buckfast ‘ brewed by monks , drank by punks ‘
