Organises sporadic gigs in London – see www.myspace.com/exteroceptor. Known to dabble in folk and blues guitar, mandolin and song (more of which to follow if anyone ever invents a 54 hour day). Occasionally plays bluegrass fiddle for the filthy recidivist of rockabilly, Rod Stern. Always looking for new playing opportunities – gigs, concerts, new projects – always open to collaborations (live/email/whatever). Get in touch...
