Bass & Vocals

Born in Manchester Jock moved to Scotland at the age of one to a town called Kilsyth, near Glasgow. Where he lived until he was 12 at this time the family moved to devizes, Wiltshire where he currently lives. He became interested in bass at 17 while playing with his friends guitar whenever they hung out together. He eventually bought his friends bass and began teaching himself how to play by using his local library to get as many books on the subject as possible.

First Gig

His first gig was something that he only just recalls as it took place DURING a night out with his pals. His brothers band had a gig at short notice for a friends wedding so Jock had to leave the nightclub, a little worse for wear, to travel to the gig. Luckily, the audience were all wedding guests who had had a few drinks themselves and nobody noticed how bad they really were.
