Public liability insurance of £10 million

Started playing bass in 1988. Played in groups - rock, jazz, blues, soul, funk, gospel, folk, shows, too many to count. Main gig is with Indian Summer, a folk/ rock/ mediaeval band. (WWW.INDIANSUMMERFOLK.CO.UK) Released 14 albums with Indian Summer. Done production work in my home studio. Started playing bouzouki 20 years ago, when I fancied a change from bass. Been a bass and guitar teacher for over 20 years.
