Al Christie

Born in Dunfermline Scotland. I started to play guitar when I was 17, in a Punk band then moved on to playing in Metal Bands before moving to London at the age 0f 20. Changing clothes ,hairstyles along with experimenting with different styles of music, trying to find my way, finally realising that I'm best at playing Rock music, but I love playing Flamenco and classics like "Cavatina" and all those cliché guitar pieces because I teach more now and am obliged to play"Stairway to heaven" along with "Tears in heaven" most weeks.I have played in lots of bands and Artists including Mark Morrison"Return of the Mack", Dylan Howe, James Hunter,Tony Kylie(Blow Monkeys) John Whiffin (Underwing), Dave Bronze (Eric Clapton,Art Of Noise, Bassist) Nick Morgan, Neil Conti (David bowie,Prefab Sprout) Andy Couglan (Gary Numan) Emily Barker, Bap Kennedy, Jane Winiberg, the Arlenes, Garrison, Phil Chill (Nehna Cherry, Mark Morrison,Massive Attack) Emma Tricker, Regg Webb(Lenny Kravitz,Keyboards) Dave Morgan(Weather prophets, Rockingbirds Drummer) the Rockingbirds and Coolhand (with Pat McGarvey ,Andy Monroe) and Jamie Fisher(Samantha Fox drummer) to name But a few.I've played live at most good Venues in London, the Forum(town and country club) Palladium, Jazz Café, Mean Fiddler,100 club, Borderline, Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival and also in Belgium ,France and Holland. Radio shows with Andy Kershaw, Johnathan Ross, Mark Lamar, Loose Ends.I have played on "Border Café" and "Being April" soundtracks and more recently on the soundtrack of the Australian movie "look both ways" I am essentially a Rock and Flamenco guitarist but have played with Pop Artists, Country,Blues and Soul.I'm living in Geneva and I'm really looking for something here, but if the money is right I'm willing to go anywhere.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=greCg3uMHSE
