JIMI MACGREGOR - Guitar Back To Top

My riffs reflect my mood. Anger, compassion, aggression, frustration, it all comes out in some way or another. The best music comes when you just let it all flow from the fingers to the fretboad…

Poetry is a passion. I tend to enjoy writing about current events, news and gossip with a little of my personal joys and sorrows thrown into the mix.
