ABOUT
I'm a developing bass player in my early 30s based near the north Hampshire / west Surrey border. I'm self taught, and am currently working on my all round playing ability. My early playing background is firmly grounded in various genres of rock, with a little bit of funk and motown. I enjoys jamming and performing with fellow musicians, and am currently part of the alt rock / grunge band Maximum Robot.
I listen to a fairly eclectic variety of music, including rock, funk and funk rock, grunge, blues, metal, reggae and motown on occasion and progressive rock / metal (the latter being my main go-to genre).
