Lindsay was born in Cardiff, South Wales. He started playing the guitar after a friend showed him some simple cords on his guitar. This inspired him, and as a result he started classical lessons for about a year, followed by learning a little bit of jazz. After some time he began teaching beginners in local schools with his teacher; it was around this time that he became interested in rock music.

He played with various musicians and groups, but always wanted to play his own style of music. For this reason he joined up with Mike Pugh, as they shared similar interest, and they began to record their own songs.

Mike introduced Lindsay to his friend Ray due to his song writing and drumming ability, and the group was complete.

Over the years he has owned many guitars and amps, including:

• Gibson Les Paul Standard
• Gibson SG S
• Gibson M 3
• Gibson Chet Atkins
• Gretsch Silver Jet
• Fender Strats
• Washburn Festival

His current guitars now include:

• Brian Moore Custom
• Ibanez 777 Jem
• Taylor 1995 Limited Edition
• P.R.S. Custom 22
