Mature bassist with studio and live experience, able to play a variety of styles. Top twenty hit years ago with my own band - plenty of sessions, gigs and tours since then -now moved to the country and looking for a function or covers band with plenty of gigs!

Audio files here are are a collage of some of the sessions and gigs I have played and I have roughly grouped them into three different styles. The eagle-eared amongst you will have noticed that I am not a an upfront manic solo bass player. I hope that my style compliments the music and does not get in the way of it!

Influences:

James Jamerson, Bob Babbitt, Paul McCartney, Ray Brown, Boris Koslov........to name just a few bassists I admire.
Tamla Motown, The Beatles,Elvis Costello, Mingus Big Band, Crowded House, Oscar Peterson,
Brian Wilson, The Killers..... to name a few artists and bands I like.

Equipment List:

Fender Precision, Yamaha BB1100s, Guild B301 Fretless.
Trace Elliot amplification. (From combo to stack depending on venue)
