ABOUT

Not looking for bands atm

I am a committed and talented guitar player with over 30 years' experience on the instrument. In 2010 I recorded a song with Stuka Squadron ("On the Volga Bridge") that featured on their debut album ("Tales of the Ost") and made it into Classic Rock's Top 100 Songs of 2011.

To me, playing the guitar is a little less than a career, but so much more than a hobby. My main stock in trade is heavy rock ranging from Deep Purple to Metallica, but I am reasonably flexible, and have dabbled in acoustic, blues and funk.
