International demonstrator for Vox amps and guitars and Yamaha guitars. Guitar Institute teacher & assessor. International Guitar Foundation (IGF) tutor. Featured tutor for a wide range of Lick Library DVDs and streaming videos.I've played thousands of gigs, including tours with a Number 1 pop act! I've been a professional guitarist since 1979. I'm mainly known as a country picker although I actually play many different styles, often featuring MIDI-guitar (piano, strings etc.). I also sing lead & harmony vocals. I've been playing on the British country scene since 1987, appearing with Memphis Roots at Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall plus countless clubs, festivals etc. I continue to play UK country festivals with the Steve Cherelle Band. I'm currently gigging on a regular basis with a rock'n'roll/60s band, Benny & The Jetts.I've also done plenty of jazz-funk, pop & soul gigs too, including tours with chart-toppers Odyssey and George McRae, and Top 10 act, Bobby Thurston – an after show party gave me the opportunity to jam with Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove!I've been a magazine columnist and transcriber for Guitarist since the mid-80s and for Guitar Techniques since 1994. I've written a book, 'Hot Country', plus I've written chapters for 'Guitar: a Complete Guide For The Player' and 'Play Acoustic'. In the education sector I've written courses for Diploma and Degree level, plus two grade pieces (Grade 1 & Grade 5), which are validated by Trinity College of Music.Teaching-wise, I joined London's Guitar Institute teaching faculty in 1990 – the school is now part of The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance. I'm a long-standing tutor for the International Guitar Foundation (IGF). I've also made several DVD tutorials for Lick Library, and one project that I'm particularly proud of is acting as host and playing alongside one of my heroes, Albert Lee. I now have my own "channel" at licklibrary.com.Recording wise, I've done many sessions, including hundreds for GT, as produced by Phil Hilborne.
