ABOUT

Songwriter guitarist and vocalist
working on recording originals music.

I have recently put together a trio with bass and drums to play occasional gigs and would love to further add to the ensemble with keys, another guitar &/or backing vocals. Someone who likes the songs is essential - one person with skills in all three areas would be ideal. I’m based in Minehead, the rhythm section on Bath. We’ve rehearsed in bath and Bristol and recorded in Minehead and Frome.
