How did you get into Throttle?

Ive known Martyn for as long as I can remember and have been mates with him for ages so when we both learned how to play and got into the same music we started the band that would eventually become THROTTLE!

How did you learn your instrument?

I was first taught by a blues gutarist called Tony Foureacre, but then I went on to learn from other guiarists, who I jammed with before having lessons from Supamodel guitarist, Damon. I first joined throttle just as a guitarist but when we failed to find a dedicated singer, I stepped in and have been singing ever since.
