Bass Guitar
Liam started out on bass aged 15 as a Brit Pop wannabe. By 19 he was playing major scooter rallies such as Euro Lambretta with well loved cover band Sherman. Wanting to get back to the music he loved he joined a local band on bass but after going through more singers than hot dinners he turned up to practice one day to find the band had instead found a bass player and was told "you're the singer now". Turned out to be the right call as over the next twenty years Liam has honed his craft and with the formation of Shameless has played some of the biggest and best gigs going and has been a mainstay on the biker circuit playing more rallies than he can remember. Well known for his frenetic stage act in younger days he can still throw the odd shape when his knees play ball
