The Attic started out as a 3-piece Punk/R&B band in Leeds back in 1988. Not great times. Thatcher was in power and the music scene was stuffed with insipid indie shoe-gazing bands. Taking their cue from a period 10 or so years previously, the band set out to inject some energy and purpose into their music. They gigged constantly, mainly in the north of England and secured support slots on tours by the Clash bassist Paul Simonon's band Havana 3am, Eddie And The Hot Rods, Wreckless Eric, the Lurkers and Chelsea to name but a few. The band received plenty of press coverage and had a minor success with their 'Off The Nest' ep from 1991. Around this time they extended to a 4- piece with Steve Pedley brought in on rhythm guitar. Eventually the band called it a day when sticksman Graham Pickup secured a trial with a Midlands based First Division football club and rhythm guitarist at the time Cat Presley left to pursue a TV career. Ex-Gun Law guitarist BB Tim had stepped in to replace the Cat for a short period but the kid(s) didn't take to the telecaster driven country blues meanderings and the band had to accept their time was up. In 2012, only 17 years!...after the band imploded, Steve, Boo and Pickup got together for a jam in a converted barn on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Things started to click into place and eventually in September 2012, the band returned to the live circuit again and proved that they could still deliver!

I released two singles under the artist name The Late Bloomers, "I Wanna Do This Thing" (November 2017), and "Golden Dusty Road" (January 2018), before I changed to my real name as my artist name in the fall of 2018. Both singles were re-released under my real name, with new b-sides December 2018. I was invited to play at the annual singer-songwriter evening for "up-and-coming artists" in my county in November 2018. Also, in late 2018, another of my songs "We All Feel the Rain" achieved a runner up placement in the Song of the Year songwriting contest. The song was co-written With John K. Aspinwall (a former UK Songwriting Contest winner) and mixed by Ronny Janssen (Kylie Minogue, Ina Wroldsen etc.). Finally, the song was mastered by Peter Michelsen of Donkeyboy and released December 2019. In December 2019, I also released my first single in Norwegian, called "Kjøsterud" - a song about the school I'm working at, in Drammen, Norway.

I started playing organ at age 10, but has later changed to acoustic guitar as my main instrument. I wrote my first song when I was 13, but has since mid 90s, come up with new ideas almost weekly. In early 2000s, I recorded around 30 demoes (none of which were ever released), and began playing at "open mic" concerts in Oslo, Norway. In 2016, I decided I had to do something with the more than 1000 song ideas that I had, so in 2017 I went into studio and cut two of my favorites. But there is much more to come!! On SoundCloud you can listen to my singles, along with other songs I have recorded at home. Hope you like my music:-)

I love to listen to music myself, from indie, americana, pop, rock, psychedelic and progressive to country, early heavy rock, britpop and southern rock. Also, I collect vinyl records. Some of my favorite artists include Grateful Dead, Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, Jonathan Wilson, Blackberry Smoke, Miranda Lee Richards, Led Zeppelin, Dylan LeBlanc, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, Fats Domino, Elvis, Madrugada, Bigbang, Band of Horses, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Phosphorescent, Gospelbeach, The War On Drugs and many, many more. I work as a teacher (in English, Music and Religion/Ethics) and write songs in my spare time.

Leeds-based blues rock band, who's debut album 'The Other Creek' was released in 2007. The band's version of Joni Mitchell's 'Big Yellow Taxi' brought them to prominence in certain quarters, including college radio. The bands two albums 'The Other Creek' and 'The Cowshed Tapes' - a raw Black Keys influenced follow up - are available via: iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, CD Baby and all the other usual oulets.
