SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a multi instrumentalist and vocalist based in Bristol. My main instrument is the guitar (lead and rhythm). I play a range of different styles and play in a number of covers bands.

I originally trained as a jazz / concert trumpeter and classical pianist. In my mid teens, I toured Italy playing trumpet in a concert band. After university I concentrated on learning the guitar in a range of styles including rock, blues, acoustic, and jazz.

I mainly play private hire gigs such as weddings, charity events, and birthday parties. However, I've also played larger events at places like the O2 in London and the NEC in Birmingham.

Currently looking for a new bass player to play covers in a Chew Magna based band.
