ABOUT

Experienced live player, in a range of covers bands and originals, since the mid-90s.
Good team player and band member; I can front and also sit back according to situation.
I have played all over the UK in different bands and styles.
Some basic recording and session work (an area I'm keen to develop). I have experience of home recording setups and also taken a course in sound recording, to improve my ability in this environment.

I can learn a set list quickly (I have done this enought times, haven't we all...).
Keen to get playing and gigging with the right band, or to dep/fill in.

Not in a gigging band at present, so can be flexible. Keen to get going again after a break from the stage!
