I recently moved from Leicester to CHELTENHAM and find myself looking for a band, i would like a good quality funk or rock band or covers band, NO folk, blues or very heavy metal or beginners. I would quite enjoy doing early 90's rock covers NO 60's +70's etc unless a paying function band. I just wanna do some good playing with good musicians and have fun!

I have been playing bass for around sixteen years now. During this time i have played a wide range of styles from europop to (very) heavy metal. I have extensive live and studio experience and have been lucky enough to share the bill with many great bands including STYX, DOKKEN, SIKTH, DANGER DANGER, THE JELLIES, MENDEED, STATETROOPER and many more. Over the years i have played at a huge range of events, from tiny pub corners to massive televised festivals and legendary venues such as Glasgows SECC, the Birmingham symphony hall and Hammersmith Apollo. I have also been featured in the press, television and radio both in the UK and in the foreign market. I have also done a variety of session work, for which i am always happy to be considered. In this capacity I have worked many different bands, artists and producers including work for sony music and Chris Sutton (Lucie Silvas. Starship, Smokey Robinson) I am primarily a groove based fingerstyle bass player although i do use plectrums when the song demands it.
NOTE: CANNOT DRIVE
