Committed, energetic bass player with attitude as well as age (forget age - it's a preconception) ! Punchy and rythmic, capable of many styles and providing a solid but interesting backing. Backing vocals.

Looking for country, folk, blues, jazz, rock opportunities!

Influences:

Very many, from all genres. Ashley Hutchings, Dave Pegg, Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, the Jam, Level 42, Norman Watt-Roy (the Blockheads bass player in their heyday), Nickel Creek, Fairport Convention, Alison Krauss, amongst many that I've forgotten and will add to when I update. Certainly the "choose 3 categories" of music played doesnt apply to me.... I can and have played most styles.
