Paul Tudor-Stack on Lead Guitar - Vocals

Paul's first guitar was a nylon string acoustic that his brother and father found at a rubbish dump back in 1971 in Canberra.  Not unreasonably, Paul's parents thought it was a just a passing phase, not realizing that it music would become an integral part of his life's journey.  After playing with cover bands in the Northern Territory and spending many years travelling, Paul was limited to playing acoustic guitar but over recent years has reverted to playing electric.  His style of guitar is in the contemporary rock/blues genre with major influences including Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton.  Playing good music with friends is one of the great joys of life.
