ABOUT
I have played electric guitar and bass in assorted cover, tribute and original bands since university, including a period as Lindsey Buckingham in tribute band Fleetfoot Mike, and a stint on bass with London folk/psych rockers the Divisionists. On top of that I play solo acoustic folk.
Can pick up most things pretty quickly, and seem to be blessed with a nearly-photographic memory for chords and arrangements. Own recording kit and rehearsal space.
