About Me

Im Alex Jennings; Im a bass guitarist studying on the Jazz course at Birmingham Conservatoire (currently in my 3rd year). Ive been lucky enough to be taught by some amazing bassists, my main bass teachers this year are Arnie Somogyi and Fred T Baker. I play with a couple of bands & other people, but Im using this page to promote my band.

APOPLEXI

I intially set this band up for college, but enjoy playing with it so much, Im gonna keep it going. The EP was recorded for a Studio Project (wich i though would be a good excuse to record an EP). All of the songs on this page are written by me. Have a listen to the tunes - thats what we do; please leave comments/opinions if you like it.
