By the time he was 16 and playing in the Green Spiders (a band formed at his local school) he was under the spell of artists such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Santana, and many other 60s bands. After playing in a band with ex Fleetwood Mac guitarist Jeremy Spencer Sean moved on to the jazz scene in Belgium performing regular gigs in two jazz clubs. He recently returned to the UK from the nightclub scene in Japan where it was necessary (and a great learning experience) to play a variety of music.
