Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Background Singer, Harmonica.ABOUT
Hi - I am a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who has played on the North East music circuit in the UK for many years performing in a variety of musical genres.
As well as offering accomplished playing on electric or acoustic guitar, I play pedal steel, lap steel, resonator and console guitars, mandolin, harmonica, tres Cubano and bass. I can also provide backing or lead vocals. Although I act primarily as a sideman to other artists I do also perform on my own on occasion.
I am also a solicitor with experience in entertainment law, of acting as a producer for both music and television/film and in artist development.
Have a look at my website for more information.
