About Me

I am primarily a guitarist & singer, playing for 20 years. I also dabbles in anything else I can get me grubby mits on. Drums, harmonica, bass, basouki and most recently piano. I've been playing in bands for about 18 years highlights include supporting Phil Hilbourne and Dr Feelgood, playing the BMF rallies,late night smokey gigs and jam nights where it just came together, making the songwriters guild semi finals,meeting Eric Bibb(all be it briefly!), chatting with whispering Bob and his wife backstage and making the last 6 of the 2007 guitarist mag/yamaha acoustic guitarist competition (see blog) Everything you hear was recorded, played or programmed by myself - Except 'crow flies' which features two great friends of mine Andy & John on bass and kit. I'm involved with 'The King Bees' a blues band with funk and jazz flavours that I'm really excited about. With some great players - Jeff Dakin - Harp, Tony Morton - Kit and Andy - bass. I also dep for Max Milligan and Cherry Lee Mewis in an acoutic blues outfit. Plus me and Andy play in a duo called 'Patch n Panda' check out my top friends for a taster.
