ABOUT

Hi, I've been playing guitar (various styles) for over 20 years and played in various bands, even professionally once. I'm currently in a covers band but am now looking for working on original projects to quench my more creative side.

I have an eclectic playing and writing style and I'm committed to having fun by doing gigs with some covers, but mostly original tracks.

Please check out some examples of my playing/writing styles its by no means comprehensive but will give some indication of my ability to play and write
