ABOUT
Very experienced guitarist. Trained in both classical and jazz. Good understanding of music theory with previous writing, arranging and studio experience.
Looking for a new project, having finished a long stint in Hertfordshire pub covers band Redhead. Prior to that Stop and Search and the mighty Kings of Langley.
On the whole I'm not interested in another covers band. I saw Buddy Guy do Mustang Sally up close at the Town & Country Club in the late 80s..
I can do all the fancy lead stuff but sometimes it's nice to just sit in the pocket and drive the band along.
Good guitar tech - wiring and switching a speciality.. I'm a chartered engineer in real life.

All this stuff has been upgraded or modified to varying degrees. I like to tinker - do you need your guitar rewired?
