At play

I live in Somerset in the UK. I work in a factory and play guitar, bass and saxophone.

I was born on 1st September 1967 in St. Austell, Cornwall.  I left Cornwall in 1986 to do a Mechanical Engineering degree at Portsmouth and then moved to Somerset in 1990. 

In Yeovil I studied Music Production and Recording Techniques with top music producer, John Parish and out of this I formed a small rock band and eventually started Cloud 10, a rock and pop covers band as lead guitarist

As part of my performing and recording I started composing my own material, most notable for an Actiontrack community event for the eclipse in 1999 and more recently incidental music for a training software company.

In 1999 I joined Wessex Big Band and learned how to play bass guitar and later double bass. and have become a pivotal member in the band, taking part in their very succesful USA tour of 2000 and most recently backing West End Singer, Mike Sterling at the Octagon Theatre, Yeovil in 2006.

As a guitarist I have worked in our soul band, The Love Handles and local shows;

I have been teaching guitar for three years now and have registered with the .
