** NEW | ANY LOCAL SINGER/SONGWRITERS LOOKING FOR A COLLABORATOR/PRODUCER?? **

I am a Hammond/Rhodes/Mellotron/Synths type Keyboard Player, also playing Bass, Guitar, and backing vocals looking primarily for PAID WORK only, but will consider anything. Main bag is classic 70's prog rock (Genesis, Yes, Floyd, King Crimson, Gong, Steve Hillage, ELP, Van Der Graaf Generator etc), but also love 60's pop, rock, psychedelia, heavy funk, classic rock etc.

Would love to do a little Hammond based blues/rock band for playing local pubs during my other bands' down time!

I would consider any working covers/tribute/function band on any instrument... either for deps or full time if it's absolutely the right band!

I could not join an original band at this time, unless it was absolutely the right band, and there was some ££ involved! However, I would be happy to contribute keyboards remotely if it's something that I really like!

I played Roger Waters in THE first, and still the most authentic UK Pink Floyd tribute for nearly 20 years. We retired in 2009 when the market became saturated with sub-standard product!!

Have also played Jon Lord in Deep Purple tribute, JPJ in Led Zeppelin tribute and Ray Manzarek in a Doors tribute!

I am currently...
Keyboard Player with Classic Prog Tribute PROGFATHERS www.progfathers.co.uk

Keyboard Player with original Prog Band TRAFFIC EXPERIMENT www.trafficexperiment.net

I am also an extremely experienced backline/stage technician and sound engineer (live & studio) having worked for some of the biggest names on the planet.

I am also available for recording and producing your tracks, remote sessions, mixing and mastering etc.

I can also offer piano tuition, Logic tutorials, Backline Tech services, sound engineering, video editing....
