Sly Elessar + Musician in Croydon, EN

ABOUT

New Video Examples on profile.

I've been playing guitar for around 24 years. In that time I've played in a number of bands, and gigged a decent amount (including a couple of minor festivals). I have also played on stage with Tom Hingley of Inspiral Carpets fame (see images).

My old band split up just before the pandemic, and I'm looking to fill that creative void in my life. I did jam with some musicians recently but not everyone was on the same page in regard to commitment.

I also have over 10 years experience in videography, voice over, and video editing.

I studied music technology at college, and have experience recording/ editing tracks. This is based around guitar/rock focused music.

I'm based in Croydon, but happy to travel to Sutton, closer parts of Kent, Crawley, Surrey, etc.
