Vinny, like Mark, all but grew together on a diet of Rock N Roll from Whitesnake to Metallica. Vinny is an out and out rock guitarist and by his own admission cant "busk" worth a f@ck, so dont ask him to a party, get him pashed and ask him to sing you a wee song.

Vinny started loads of bands, but never done anthing of note until forming the band Fair Warning along with Mark on vocals.

Vinny's influences have changed a bit over the years with every one from Randy Rhodes , Tommy Bolin , Paul Kossoff , Gary Moore and Eddie Van Halen to Dave Gilmour , Walter Trout and just about anyone who can " make it sing man " .

Vinny's current live gear consists of .......
