Reading

Hi there! Thank you for visiting my page, I am a guitarist, singer and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years playing and recording experience in a variety of styles from rock and blues to soul, pop, indie, grunge and more. I am also a skilled loop station performer, using this to create dynamic and engaging performances of both covers and originals. I have performed as part of function bands, at many open mics and jam nights, as well as my own gigs as both a solo performer and part of a band or duo. I am able to cater my set to fit any style as required for the event in question. Please check out my videos and feel free to contact me if you would like me to be involved in your event! Many thanks

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My repertoire is wide-ranging in terms of styles, energy and vibe and I always try my best to cater to what the event requires, but I am more than happy to discuss this in advance to see if I can make it even better!
