Bass guitarist for the British indie rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen who released a UK, Australia, Scotland and US-charting album called The Balcony in 2014.
He grew up with lead vocalist Van McCann. They played soccer together and started a band simply because they felt like it. He didn't even own a bass guitar at that time.
He and the band started out by playing covers of Beatles songs.
