ABOUT

Jon 'Shaggi' Simpson

I'm looking for a full-time band, but am also available as a substitute for any musical situation. Whether it be studio recording, gigs, showcases or whatever - I'm a very quick learner. It's not unusual for me to play a full set without rehearsal, having only demos or set-lists to work from.

I am experienced at playing with sequencers, click tracks and adapting to a wide range of scenarios. I am very capable of playing any musical style, and am always open to interesting offers.
