There are some songs here which are free to download, and all that i ask, is that you leave a message in my guest book. If you really like them of course, you could always donate some money to keep this site up and running!
Porn Show
Formed on my return from my first travels, this band was Banbury and Oxford based from 1998 through to 2000. We made several recordings, which I´m extremely proud of. Twilight is probably the best song that I have ever written, and Hunter Thompson (yet to be available for download) is the best quality recording i´ve ever made. The band played several gigs, and disbanded due to my wish to travel, combined with the fact that i seemed to be doing everything. I played bass guitar, rythmn and lead guitar in Hunter Thompson, percussion and keyboard in Twilight, and check out my sax solo in Nothing Good!!! (Hey, if you´ve got a trumpet, blow it!!)

Bush Pigs
The Bush Pigs were formed in 1994 with original members Dave Briggs on bass, Tony Rislely on guitar and vocals, Kieran Mclaughlin on sax and windblower, and Steve Goddard on drums. The two songs which you can download were taken from our first cd single released in 1996, which holds the current world record for the fewest ever sold! I left the band to start my travels soon after the single was released, but they are still going , with Duncan replacing myself on bass, and my brother replacing the sax player with his keyboard. Hopefully the Bush Pigs will continue to go on for years to come, as my ‘pension’ of a free beer at every gig I turn up too comes in handy sometimes!! Check out their website at www.bushpigs.co.uk

Wasted Suspects
The band was started in 1990 by Dave and
Steve Briggs (bass and keyboards). After recruiting Gary Steers on
drums, we hit the rehearsal studios whilst we looked for a guitarist,
who eventually turned up as the incredibly gifted Gary McReadie.
Concentrating on song writing, rehearsals and drinking, Paul Harradine
joined us, and the band was complete.
The band made 2 cd's with this line-up, songs from which you can
download from the list below. It's worth bearing in mind that these
were recorded in 1991 and 1992, and that whilst the oldest member of
the band (me!) was nineteen, the youngest, Gary on guitar, was only
sixteen, and his incredible talent still shines through.
In late 1992 Paul Meadows replaced Paul Harradine on
vocals, and although the band continued
gigging, no more recordings were made. The untimely
death of guitarist Gary in 1995 finally put an end to
Wasted Suspects, although a one off tribute gig saw the band reformed
with both Pauls taking a set each, and Grant Sutherland taking the
unenviable job of guitarist, which he did brilliantly.
To everybody who was involved with Wasted
Suspects, including parents who
ferried the gear around allowing the band to get pissed at every gig, a
great group of mates who knew the words better than us, and
anyone who remembers and bought a T-Shirt, thanx a lot, they were
excellent times.
