ABOUT

Hi - I'm currently playing in guitar and mandolin folky bands but I used to play and write music that was influenced by prog rock bands such as Yes, Genesis and King Crimson , jazz rock, Led Zeppelin etc.

Mostly guitar but I also play bass and keyboards fairly well.

I would like to meet up with like minded musicians of any age or calibre to jam along and see what happens - hopefully go out and play. I Like blues but don't want to play it.

I've recently played bass in a prog covers band that got together just for fun - and also played guitar and keyboards in Band of Rain at the Prog for Peart festival.

I'm also keen to join a pop / rock covers functions band playing guitar, bass - so don't let the prog stuff put you off.

Furthermore: I'd like to get together with a VIOLIN PLAYER to do open mic nights etc playing mostly folk stuff
along with some arrangements of basically anything that works.
