SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm an experienced Keyboard player with over 25 years of professional playing experience. I have played countless gigs ranging from supporting Soul II Soul with Nicky Prince in Bristol and Watford, through to corporate functions, weddings, and of course less formal pub & bar gigs! I can play most styles, but prefer funky and soulful to Rock-based music. I can also do backing vocals with a very keen ear for creating harmonies.
I run a Jazz Big-band that gives 2-3 annual performances in a theatre, as well as running one of the oldest UK Jungle/Drum & Bass labels. I have also taught classical and Jazz piano since 1998.

Roland RD Series 88-Key, Roland Fantom-6, Roland VP770 Vocoder.
I have my own keyboard amp (if no monitors are provided) and bring my own SM58 and stand.
I also have a Fender Rhodes 73 with cab, but as it is very heavy, would need to to be a serious gig to warrant bringing it!
