Some of the people I've been lucky enough to play with include-

I've also had the chance to play on numerous film scores including the Bobby Darin biopic 'Beyond The Sea', the award winning 'Hard Candy', 'An Ideal Husband' and 'Shifty'. Current regular bands include;
-The North Sea Radio Orchestra - http://www.myspace.com/northsearadioorchestra (vibes)

-Oboto - http://www.myspace.com/oboto (congas, pandeiro and assorted crazy sounds)
.....I'm also getting my writing chops together (you can hear some of the fruit of my labour above).
