About Me

Im Greg, i used to skate alot, used to get hurt a lot. Now i play bass, and dont get hurt as much. More recently ive been based in the UK and have been fortunate enough to have met and played with musicians such as Jason Rebello, Hayley Westenra, Ian Bellamy, Carlinhos Brown, Gareth Lochrane, Ed Motta, Pee Wee Ellis, Joe Cavanagh, Avishai Cohen, Luke Flowers from Cinematic Orchestra,Dave Dobbyn, Cameron Pierre. Also playing support slots for great musicians such as Wayne Krantz, Airto Moreira, Joyce, Ben Harper, G Love and Special Sauce. Somehow, ive managed to eek out a career of sorts playing up and down the UK and Europe, bass bothering in venues such as Ronnie Scotts, 606 Club, Camden Jazz Cafe, The Barbican, Shepards Bush Empire, Glastonbury Festival, Montreaux Jazz Festival and Womad. These days im still freelancing, but spending a lot of time working with 'The Duckworths', go check out their tunes, its good stuff.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
