ABOUT

Old ex-drummer turned bassist looking to gig for fun rather than money (though money is always nice!). Competent and flexible with a great ear but can't read to save my life! Also have to play sitting down these days and need help carrrying gear due to various infirmities :( so no boy bands please :D Past bands include Dee Chanelle and the Inlaws playing pop/R&B, the Paramount Blues Band, a classic blues outfit based in NW London, the Big Blues Consortium (playing guess what :D ), "post-punk prog grunge metal melancholia"(!) band ButtCherry, and Decentric, an originals indie band. Always up for new opportunities - ideally something bluesy (or another foray into originals or funk would be fun) but I'm happy with pretty much any style of music, so long as the band (and the audience!) are enjoying themselves :). Always open to offers of jamming, depping or new projects, especially local ones.

Currently playing with local function/covers unit the 11th Hour Band, and working on a couple of new projects with Groove Alchemy (Blues/R&B/soul/funk/disco) and Second Arc (prog). Not always paid up as a full member but you can reach me through my equipment below ;). Just want to get out there and play as much as possible!

ps can also do magic if you get bored :)
