About Me

Hi I'm Bridget, I play various styles of guitar: classical, electric, slide, acoustic, and I work as a full-time musician and teacher. I write for Guitar Techniques magazine and have recently been featured on the BBC1 TV series 'Play it Again'. I'm currently gigging with an all girl funky blues band: the 'Rogue Dolls'.
