ABOUT
I have been playing the electric guitar since childhood and gigging since my teens. I also play acoustic but electric is my forte and natural leaning. I've played semi-professionally for the last 20 years.
Covering the likes of Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Bowie all to a high standard.
I played for many years in the Nik Turner Band & Galaktikos.
I also played with Bob Fish of The Darts for about a dozen years
I am currently fronting a power trio called Cloud Nine.
