About Me

Currently playing in various bands around Yorkshire - a folk-jazz-improv-classical band called 7 hertz, an impressionismy duo called McWatt, The Sleaze Orchestra, I.D.S.T., Sendai, and working with various people in Sheffield and Leeds. I also play in the Sinfonia of Leeds orchestra. I'm occasionally fortunate enough to play with Mary Hampton, David Thomas Broughton, and l'Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp. I spent my early twenties trailing round Europe in punk bands, but settled back in Leeds to learn the double bass about 7 years ago. I'm still learning!
