Patrick first picked up a guitar at the tender age of 12 and hasn't put it
down since. In the early days he aspired to play like his heroes Jimmy Page,
Angus Young and other classic rock and 70's guitarist’s. Soon after he bought
his first real guitar he started to jam with friends and various bands,
becoming majorly influenced from 90's rock and metal. When he moved house in
mid 2005 he met neighbours Lisa and Duncan, and this was where he was first
properly introduced to the tunes of the Beatles. Since the formation of
Backbeat Patrick has taken a keen liking to singing and piano, along with
guitar, and has become a massive fan of the Fab Four's entire repertoire.
These days Patrick has developed an eclectic taste in music and incites
John, Ringo, George and Paul as some of his most inspirational role models.
He also currently plays in an experimental/metal band called Narscenic.
Patrick's biggest music role models would be John Lennon, Jimmy Page, Jimi
Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Daniel Johns, Greg Howe, Adam Dutkiewicz and Thom Yorke.
