About Me

I am 19 years old and have just finished studying Jazz (how rock n roll!) at the Leeds College of Music, and intend to do a degree next year. I enjoy playing all kinds of music such as jazz, western swing, country, rockabilly, and of course the blues. I have been performing in bands for as long as I can remember. I gig and fill in with various bands across the North of England and have been lucky enough to perform and study with some of the UK's finest musician's. I'm a Fender enthusiast; mainly using a custom built '52 RI or 60's style Tele with hand wound bulldog pickups plugged into a valve amp.

The studio tracks on my player at the minute are from some session work that I took part in a few years ago for a blues university project. Please see the recant blog for more details & credits. I hope to get some more up to date Jazz and Blues recorded soon.
