ABOUT

Employed Full-time in a 16-track Recording Studio, but with the increasing reliance on Computers I realised I am first & foremost a Musician. I have since left Technology behind, so my being on here is something of an achievement!
ABRSM Piano Grades 1-6 and Violin Grade 1. My lowly Violin skills managed to get me into a local Orchestra which was an Amazing experience: Everyone was better than me, so i had to cope with that, & the experience of actually sitting with & inside the Orchestra is something I hope All Music lovers get to do...Wow! I preferred Rock'n'Roll, so I've played in too many Bands that rehearse forever, do a couple of gigs, then fall apart.
I'm Drug-free, sober, not a Criminal, & a bit boring.
Foundation Cert in Jazz & Pop (Guitar) Pass -Goldsmiths
I think i'm Hilarious.
