Get it on use a cyclotron
Change the state
And you'll feel greater
Feel the power in your isotope
When you turn on
Your particle accelerator.

This one is a cover of a Greek song I did with The Cretan band Everdie it's called asimina sfika which means silver wasp .I hope this counts as an animal I'm on guitar ,the vids a bit dark but it was filmed in the rehearsal room and we'd had a few drinks at this point. Enjoy https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XpP_DGa3oLY

Better than I expected Phill I'd resigned my self to just playing guitar for Ronnie and the Rockits but I got invited to a small venue the previous week where I did a short set which went really well so I thought I'd see if I could manage a propper set .Maybe still a bit too soon but getting there.
