Influences

Very many, from all genres. Ashley Hutchings, Dave Pegg, Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, the Jam, Level 42, Norman Watt-Roy (the Blockheads bass player in their heyday), Nickel Creek, Fairport Convention, Alison Krauss, amongst many that I've forgotten and will add to when I update. Certainly the "choose 3 categories" of music played doesnt apply to me.... I can and have played most styles.
