ABOUT

I'm a musician from Chichester in West Sussex. My main passion is for folk but I'm brancing out and expanding that recently - I also love Celtic / Irish folk.

I have my own style - tends to be a fairly aggressive / percussive / sometimes funky way of playing the acoustic guitar. I am not too familiar with electrics but open to learning in future if I experiment more.

I'm much more of a rhythm player with very limited lead abilities on the guitar. Main instrument now is arguable clawhammer banjo. So if I work with someone it'd be nice if they played rhythm guitar so I am able to swap to the banjo.
