I've been interested in Jazz music since a teenager when I took up the clarinet and saxophone. I have been playing in jazz bands since the 1990s. I am currently a member of The Millennium Eagle Jazz Band (traditional jazz) and Hot Banana (jump-jive and swing), I also run my own small group based in my home town of Nottingham.
