Have played for over 50 years. Self taught, wide knowledge of musical styles. Non reader. Have played many types of gigs from Working Men's Clubs to Pubs to Wedding Venues and Concert Halls. Have good working knowledge of gigging. Very reliable. Run my own musically unrelated business in the Wedding Industry and am flexible with rehearsal times. Physically fit, despite my years of experience. I own a wide range of professional gear, and can use In-ears or floor monitors. Have used clicks and backing tracks, including trigger responsibility.
I am mobile with my own car and van, easy going and in it for the fun of playing but anything I take on is approached with commitment and enthusiasm. I also do backing vocals. I can also bring a bass player to the party.

Influences
I am very much in the 70's Classic Rock camp but enjoy playing anything from the Beatles and Elvis to Iron Maiden, Manics, Oasis, modern Indie bands, even Adele and Lady Gaga. If it sounds good, I'll play it with enthusiasm. I'm not stuck in a genre, or the past. Looking for a regular band and not depping.
