ABOUT

Currently playing in a tribute and cover band, both rock orientated, though I have a considerable number of songs from Abba to Zappa in my repertoire due to playing in function bands in the past. Rock and blues remain my forte and I prefer the bass to sing, with feeling.

Have played a number of Festivals, mainly Beer Festivals and MAG Rallies, but also the Bulldog Bash and even Glastonbury Festival (though this was with an original band).

Am looking primarily to expand experience with other players, and also increase amount of paid gigs, either with original or cover bands and have previous played in other countries so touring is not a problem. Studio work is also welcome.

Influences

Actually, I'm a bit of a progressive rock chick, though I do enjoy goth music, the blues, classic rock, ambient, punk and jazz too. It was on hearing the bassline produced by John Wetton on Starless and Bible Black (a song on the 'Red' album by King Crimson) that made me want to pick up the bass. There are a lot of bass players I admire and some of whom have influenced me and my playing style however there are probably too many to list here.
