Favourite Gigs: Jerry Cantrell on the 2002 Degradation Trip tour in Newport, next I’d say Anthrax on the 2012 Worship Music tour at the Cole Exchange in Cardiff and of course ZZ top on their 2015 tour at the SSE Arena Wembley with special guest Jeff Beck.

Favourite Music: I’d say I have quite eclectic music taste I listen to a few different genres, but I do lean towards Rock and metal being my favourite. I like blues country jazz, electronica, hip hop and even some classical but as I say I’d firmly rooted in the rock side of things. My favourite bands are Van Halen, ZZ Top, Anthrax, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Beastie Boys, Rush, Peter Gabriel and Massive Attack. This list goes on...
