He is also a prolific songwriter and has released two albums in his own write, Steppin' Stone (<a href="http://www.note-music.co.uk/marksimkininfo.html" title="Note Music" target="mainFrame" class="hyperlinks">Note Music</a>) reviewed by Lionel Ross of Blues in Britain, and Demons (own label - sound previews on this site). He is currently finishing his third album which will be available soon.</p> <p>Mick was first handed a bass-guitar by his brother when he was the tender age of eleven years-old, and the first tune he taught Mick was "Smoke on the Water" (ironic that!). Since then he taught himself to play by listening to songs and figuring-out bass-lines and techniques. He has played with a number of Jazz-Funk, cabaret and function bands and his main influences have been Marcus Miller, Les Claypool, and Larry Graham ("true masters"). "It's great to be back making noise with these two guys - how can three blokes play so loud, and still sound good?" </p> <p>Matt is fast developing a reputation as one of the most slap-happy, reliable drummers on the circuit. With the emphasis on rock–solid time keeping, he would be mortified if he thought he wasn’t entertaining. Once described in the Surrey Mirror as “a natural born show off”, the following years have done nothing to dampen his spirits. “If you leave early and haven’t noticed me, I haven’t done my job” … said the handsome devil. </p> <p>Oh ……… and he’s modest!</p> </body> <body><table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000" summary="Jinn House - exciting & energising Rock/Blues in London, Surrey, Sussex & Kent - links to Gigs, Sounds, Action Replay, Snapshots, Chatterbox & An Audience with Mark"> <tr align="center" valign="middle"> <th scope="col">Gigs</th> <th scope="col">An Audience with ....</th> <th scope="col">Chatterbox</th> <th scope="col">Snapshots</th> <th scope="col">Sounds</th> <th scope="col">Action Replay</th> <th scope="col">Store</th> <th scope="col">Links</th> <th scope="col">Contact</th> <th scope="col">Home</th> </tr> <tr align="center" valign="top"> <td><a href="gigs_surrey.html" target="mainFrame" class="borderit"><img src="assets/button.jpg" alt="Find Jinn House Gigs" width="50" height="35" border="0" title="Find Jinn House Gigs" /></a></td> <td><a href="marksimkins.html" target="mainFrame" class="borderit"><img src="assets/button.jpg" alt="An Audience with Mark" width="50" height="35" border="0" title="An Audience with Mark" /></a></td> <td><a href="chatterbox.html" target="mainFrame" class="borderit"><img src="assets/button.jpg" alt="Did You Have a Good Time?
