I am open to acoustic or electric music that covers: Jazz / Blues / Folk / Rock / Soul / Funk / Boogie / and roots influences. In the first half of the 90s I played in bands under the names of Seventh Heaven and KIK, where we progressed from playing quirky rock instrumentals to a vocals driven dance / funk combo. In recent years I have played in a Jazz / Swing band with some funk influences. I am interested in other experiences and would contemplate an acoustic driven duo / trio playing a wide range of material - might be an easier way of getting gigs in the current climate etc.

Influences
I have an eclectic taste in music and listen to a wide range from classical to heavy metal. I particularly like alternative rock, funk, blues, jump-blues / swing, soul, American roots, jazz and acoustic guitar of most stylings. My favourite electric guitarist is Jeff Beck and acoustic equivalent, Leo Kottke.
