About Me

I am a double bassist/bass guitarist (and occasional banjo-ist.. banjist.. whatever). Until recently I was bassist for the Puppini Sisters, touring the UK, Europe, Canada and the U.S. but I left to start up my own project: Hoodlums - www.myspace.com/hoodlumsband. I also play with several other bands including Centre-Line headed by Russell van den Berg and Darren Altman, and Anjali Perin in her various incarnations.I'm of the opinion that music (as long as it's genuine) is an incredible and beautiful thing -whatever form it's taken- to be revered and loved and protected. What I enjoy most is meeting musicians who feel the same.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
