Been posting here for ages, never did this introduction business, so:

Q1:  Where did your username come from? I was the youngest person in a band I was playing in during the late 90s, early 00s, so I got the nickname 'the boy'. M is the first letter of my name, so my username is just an acronym for the boy mark.

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? I live in Dublin, but I'm from elsewhere in Ireland.

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? Just to continue to be happy playing music with as many folk as I can, which is tough with a full time job and a few kids. But I think I'm managing ok.

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? My no.1 guitar, which is US Telecaster made in 1988. It's had a few changes down the years, but its mainly as I bought it.

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Impossible to say, but the most slack jawed in amazement I've ever been at a gig was watching the Melvins open a show with 'The Fool, the Meddling Idiot' about 15 years ago. It pretty much changed what I thought about guitar, songs and songwriting.

Q1:  Where did you username come from? It's just my first name a surname initial.

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? I'm just outside Edinburgh.

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? To be able to play both bass and guitar to a competent level, possibly even in front of other people! (I can play that better when nobody is looking, honest!) 

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Fender Blacktop Jazz bass.

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Know Your Enemy - Rage Against the Machine. This is a really difficult one,  It's not their best song, but it's the one that started me off way back in 1995 when I first heard that album, and for that it'll always be a favourite!

Hi. My name comes from my band Hailbails. We play fifties/early sixties inspired rock and roll I guess. I'm in Leeds but from Wales. My ambition is to gig as much as possible! Best bit of gear? Really sad but I totally love my Rothwell Love Squeeze compressor. I don't have a number 1 track! But at the moment I'm digging Shane Fenton and Unknown Mortal Orchestra! Not together.....

It's ok to post, just do a thread in the appropriate playing sub-forum.

Q1:  Where did your username come from?

The highly unoriginal use of my initials.

Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

About 10 miles east of Edinburgh

Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

To sound at least semi-competent playing the guitar.

Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

Gotta be my chrome blue strat.

Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

Tough one, as it varies quite regularly, and over a very broad spectrum. If I was to pick one that's been fairly dominant over the past few years, it would be Freunde Bleiben by Revolverheld. More because I like the video for it than the actual music!
