Banker swaps suit for guitar as he pursues dreams of being a rock star.

LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (NOVEMBER 12, 2008) REUTERS -
MARTYN SHONE OF HONEY RYDER SAYING:
"I have always been into music, I have always aspired to be a
professional musician and I have always played the guitar over the years, and
I guess I just fell into working in the city really. I did my degree in
business and French, came to London and everyone needs to earn a wage and I
just got a job in a bank as a consultant, I had a good time there, but I have
always been playing music, always at school through university and I have
always been in bands in London, so it has always been a sideline for
me."

"It takes a certain type of personality to go for your dream and
go for it and to put your money where your mouth is really. People who know me
well they know that I am a risk taker and I have always believed in this,
always so people aren't that surprised really that I have been doing it full
time. But obviously there are people have said, maybe you should stay where
you are, the irony now is that the credit crunch is setting in and it almost
looks a safer option anyway."
