ABOUT

Definitely not interested in playing 70s rock! Conversant with all techniques/styles, excellent improvisational/accompaniment ability. contact me via email: mikeforwood099@

Influences

Jazz/Rock/Reggae/electronic/funk/psychedelic/Ska! Anything quirky/different! I have played in crossover bands and always look to produce interesting music. I love Zappa, Jazz-rock/prog, but also rhythm based music, such as ninja tunes, thievery corp, etc. More recently, Jaga Jazzist, The Comet is coming, sonar, Gentlemen's dub club. Too many influences to mention but if you follow 6 music Freak Zone you'll have some idea!
