ABOUT

I am an all round guitarist from Dartford in Kent. I have been playing guitar for 28 years and I have 10 years of experience, playing in function bands, party bands, rock bands and big bands. I am a qualified music teacher and I have been working in schools for the past 12 years. I dabble in computer music and I am a self taught keyboard/piano player with excellent listening skills.

I have not worked as a gigging musician for the past 10 years as teaching took over my life. I have since left the teaching profession to concentration on doing what I know best which is performing.

Much of my pro equipment was sold during my time teaching but I am willing to purchase professional gear as soon as I have found a group or person that I can work with as a dedicated interest.
