Bonehead's parents were Irishs who met and got married in Manchester.
At school, his mates had quite longish hair but he had his cropped every week. It didn't
take long for them to bestow him
with the nickname he carries till this day. He was once in a band with his brother Martin and two
other friends and called themselves Pleasure In Pain. However, the band didn't last long and later
Bonehead formed The Rain, together with Guigsy
(whom he also taught to play the bass), Tony McCarroll on drums and Chris Hutton originally on vocals. That
was before Liam had joined them. In the very beginning,
Bonehead and Liam wrote songs for The Rain....that was before
Noel saw them performing at the Boardwalk in Manchester.
Bonehead is currently residing with his wife Kate and daughter Lucy.
