About Me

Hi there, thanks for dropping by! I'm a professional guitarist and guitar tutor working with loads of different acts, bands and artists. I first picked up the guitar at thirteen and I've not stopped playing since! I turned professional in 2000 and fortunately I've always had enough work to pay the bills. I have been lucky enough to work with some very talented and friendly people over the years, doing gigs from as close as my local to as far afield as Europe and the Middle East, playing in front of crowds ranging form no-one to 10,000! As always you have good days and bad, but I've done some fantastic things through music which I'll never forget. I'm currently working on a rock guitar instrumental solo project - yeah I know, just what the world needs more of(!) but I hope I can make it really cool and worth a good listen.

As a teacher I have helped many students become the guitarist they've dreamed of, including many who are out gigging in bands. I take students from year four primary school to any age and I aim to make the instrument both fun and rewarding to learn. My lessons are mostly through schools, but If you are looking for private lessons I also teach at Rocky Road Music shop in Corby. Bye for now...

Crap drivers

It's been a while since I blogged, but here's what's been bugging me lately.Crap drivers. I just spent a good portion of time on the road doing some gigs recently, and to pass the time I mused on why ...
