ABOUT

Update Jul 2023: Dreamcatcher, with whom I'm working, is on the lookout for a lead guitarist. Needs someone happy to work with us retirement-age members, based near Swindon/Oxford, mobile, and interested in a wide variety of genres. Would help if they could sing too!

Currently appearing as Dreamcatcher UK Band (see FB) with Jane Noelle, but also as The Dawn Ferry, or just solo under my own name.

Had been actively gigging for a number of years as a duo/trio with a female vocalist and (frequently but not always) a percussionist, but the vocalist decided to emigrate. That's what the UK weather does to you! Anyway, I'm anxious to keep the momentum and fun going so hoping to find a competent and confident singer to work with (I sing - lead or harmony - love harmony! - but like to focus on the guitar playing and anyway struggle to learn lyrics off by heart quickly!). I've also written songs in the past, but I'm hardly prolific. Very good ear, easy to work with, references available!
