Proficient cover guitarist, been playing pubs & clubs since age 15. Professional for over 20 years, day job since 2000 but still gigged every weekend (until covid).
Played with both live bands (5/6 members) and sequenced tracks (duo and trio). Have played keyboards and alto sax in different bands, also front for some songs and provide backing vocals.
Have taken up slide guitar as it was hearing bottleneck that interested me all those years ago.

Influences
Early influence Dire Straits , Robert Johnson, Pink Floyd. Tubeway Army, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, OMD. Steve Vai, Eagles. Steely Dan. Prince, Madonna, George Michael. Very broad tastes for some years. Can appreciate most music - just can't get on with anything that has that guttural death thrash type singing in it.
