ABOUT

I've been playing guitar since my teens and been in various bands - not pro but kind of serious. Currently I mainly play in Brighton and am looking for fellow travellers who are experienced and competent musicians in London. I just like to play - this could be at open mics, jazz jams or small gigs.

One possibility is forming a Dylan tribute band. Could be a duo or trio....Looking for a singer and some other good musicians...Maybe start with an open mic and go from there. I've uploaded some of my Dylan versions here - all recorded in the past few years, where I've played guitar and bass myself and sung on most of them - I'm making no claim to be a singer! My friend Michael D sings on 'Simple Twist Of Fate' - but he lives in Italy now... I am Obviously One Believer but absolutely I need other Believers so that we can most likely be Obviously Two/Three/ Four/ Five Believers...!

As I'm now getting into playing some jazz - the funkier, bluesier end of jazz - I'd also be up for playing some jazz standards. I've included a version of 'Midnight Blue' in the uploads section.
