SEEKING

ABOUT

I play fingerstyle guitar, in folk and jazz styles. I also sing.

I have many years experience performing in different kinds of venues, from concert halls and festivals to restaurants, bars and riverboats, and with many inspirational musicians.

Songwriting in collaboration with Catherine Kinsey has been a formative and wonderful experience, and my continued duo partnership with the fabulous Emma Stone is a joyful privilege.

As a producer I put on events at the Ale House in Colwall and am always interested in meeting original solo artists or groups who may wish to perform there. https://pindropevents.co.uk
