SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a hard-working keyboard player with some 34 years' playing experience which has included paying my dues in hundreds of pub-and-club type gigs to playing for large-scale international productions such as Miss World's Coronation Ball at Sun City in South Africa and everything in-between.
I have played keyboards and piano either professionally or semi-professionally since 1989 (having taken formal lessons for 10 years prior) in many different situations - from duos and trios to full live bands. I am equally comfortable playing with sequencers as with live drummers, can read music and also offer consistent backing vocals.
I have all my own equipment and can travel virtually anywhere, time and work permitting.
Some of my recent projects have included playing for and managing the award-winning wedding and function band 5CATFish who were voted 'Entertainment Supplier of the Year' to the wedding industry, touring with the national theatre shows 'Vampires Rock' and 'The Meat Loaf Story' in 2015/16 and playing for 'Fallen' - an Evanescence tribute band. I am currently playing keys for the festival rock band ‘Fired Up’.
I am very approachable, friendly and genuinely hard-working and will do whatever is required to ensure a job is done well.
