I have had a busy and varied career which has taken me all over the world as well as around the UK. I have played all styles of music and also enjoyed backing many well-known artistes. Starting off playing original music on the university circuit, and touring with pop and disco bands as well as resident work in Mecca ballrooms, I have also been a Bandleader and Musical Director, playing on cruise ships and for major theatre shows as well as hotels, summer seasons and corporate hospitality. I have worked for most of the major cruise lines and international hotel chains, and enjoy keeping music live! Full CV available on request.
