    Wow. Just found this forum after getting fed up waiting for Musicradar to come back. Good to see so many familiar names around! Never bothered to introduce myself last time so might as well take the time now...

    Q1:  Where did your username come from? Years ago I was baiting a 419 scammer by pretending to be a Russian Jew who had emigrated. I am neither Russian nor Jewish, but it was a laugh and the name just stuck around.
    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? Where Manchester meets the Pennines
    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? I've done the originals thing and been on the periphery of big scenes, particularly Madchester where I auditioned for a couple of minor league hangers-on but it never came of anything. I'm just happy to be playing in public with my hearing intact.
    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I wish I had the '62 reissue Tele with Kent Armstrong pickups I bought when I was 17 and was stolen in a burgalary.
    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Pfff. The gear question is far easier than this one. I would say, at the moment, it's this:

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Right now it's the Axe-FX II

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?  this changes week by week.. this week it's Mountain: Nantucket Sleigh Ride..
