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 mostly have to play sitting down these days and need help carrring 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, "post-punk prog grunge metal melancholia"(!) band ButtCherry, and Decentric, an originals indie band. Always up for new opportunities - ideally something bluesy 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, and currently playing occasional gigs with the Big Blues Consortium, and local function/covers unit the 11th Hour Band. 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!
