I currently have "works in progress" with a number of artists who i also play in bands for and with whom include....Hkb Finn, Derek Johnson, Reggae Vibes, Tunde Jegede and CJ. Lewis ............................................................ ...............................................The Reggae Vibes! are essentially a 3 piece unit comprising of Errol Donaldson on Drums, Keith Hagley on Keyboards & myself on Bass. We back a relatively new (but long time coming) artist called Natty Wailer, who in his younger years was 1st Bob Marley and The Wailers chef, then became one of Bob's studio session keyboard players in Jamaica (played piano on Talking Blues and many other well known hits) and after establishing a very substantial fan base in Austrailia, is now currently residing in Ireland where he now almost a house-hold name captivating a new audiences throughout the Island. We are currently working on a new studio recorded album and have completed 7 tracks so far. We hope it will be completed by December, pointing towards a general release in th first quarter,......CAN'T WAIT? A 'live' dvd and Cd compilation of some of our shows will be available to buy at our next show...check us out on Uk.Myspace.com/video/ and all other Natty Wailer related articles on Google Search or Wikepedia! ............................................................ ...............................................

Sona, Wali & Tunde come from "The" family of Kora players.....an unbroken lineage that dates back over 700 YEARS, with each generation handing down the tradition and techniques required in the mastery of this beautiful and ignoble instrument!

(alot to say in 1 breath) ............................................................ ...................................... The Soundjunction project which is sponsored & created by Abrsm....(Associated Board of the Royal School of Music) and is unique in the sense where it allows the listener/user to interact with the musical piece and manipulate the individuals instruments heard within that piece!!
