SEEKING
Lead Guitar.ABOUT
I am a dynamic, experimental lead guitarist with an ability for creative thinking.
Primarily looking to interact with serious artists/bands (management/label interest/connections etc.).
I play bass but I'M NOT A BASS PLAYER - PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT BASS PLAYING POSITIONS. It's for your own sake - I'd probably enjoy it for about 5 minutes then get itchy feet for playing guitar! :o)
I play keys but I limit this to studio work as it isn't something I want to do in a live situation. In a nutshell, I'm a guitarist! :o)
Strong look and stage presence. Into vintage style.
I live for playing live.
I have a pro-attitude and am very friendly and easy to get on with.
I've got a broad range of experience - venues big & small, studio, TV, theatre, festivals, dep'ing.
I have supported the likes of:
Kasabian
Insprial Carpets
Brinkman
Mylo
The Bluetones
Art Brut
The Subways
The Deadstring Brothers
The Wombats
Tiny Dancers
Pete Doherty (who hasn't...?)
Bez (Happy Mondays)
Metro Riots

I love indie, blues, heavy rock, classic rock, post rock, acoustic, motown, soul etc. - I like it loud and/or quiet . I love lots of different style and am as happy playing mellow indie as I am heavy or experimental styles, if I like the songs.
