JM is possibly one of the busiest men in prog / rock these days.  When not playing with Frost*, he is the frontman for It Bites, who just last week played a blinder of a gig in Carlisle which was recorded for DVD, after playing an acoustic gig the night before.  IB are playing a charity gig in Workington next Friday and are on a UK tour in March, followed by a couple of Japanese dates.

He also plays bass in A when they tour, runs his own studio (Outhouse in Reading) and produces or mixes numerous albums, from the prog acts such as Touchstone to more indie / emo acts such as Enter Shikari and Funeral For A Friend.  He often plays guitar on other people's albums, such as Steve Thorne, Martin Orford, and Lee Abrahams in the last year or so.  This has resulted in him being voted 3rd best guitarist in the recent Classic Rock Presents Prog poll (personally, I'd have put him higher...).

Other than that (and nearly sinking the odd boat), not a lot really!  ;)

The Mirror is one of my favouritist tracks evah.
Largely thanks to Mr Jem and Mr Lerxst - the segue between their two solos gives me goosebumps every time. And that's with Jem's solo being a quarter note behind where its maker intended it to be an' all.
Awesome.

I thought it was actually ahead by that much but, no matter, it is indeed awesome!  :)
