About Me


CLICK HERE TO BUY MY THEREMIN/CASIO DELUXE ALBUM WITH PLASTIC PARACHUTIST "WE CAN FLY":
I've played at Cargo, The Spitz, Sonic Arts Network EXPO, Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, Truck Festival, The Albert Hall (OK not as Ninki V) and The Purcell Room amongst others.
You can see a close-up playing melodica on the Sony Walkman advert, playing with 126 other musicians. Also played on a truly shocking Channel 4 show called Homemade. Played live in sessions a few times on Resonance FM. And I'm one of the musicians in the short film One Man in the Band, which I haven't seen myself yet...
I also play flute/melodica/BV's with the Glagga Glaggas; occasionally theremin/harp/flute with Piney Gir; and theremin/recorder with the chart topping Orff Orchestra, reaching an impressive 66 in the Christmas Charts 2004.
There are some gigs coming up soon featuring my electric clarinet, looper pedal and toy accordeon. Watch this space.
And if you are looking for an unusual and wonderful act for your festival/wedding/cruise/summer ball do get in touch!
And here is my recent foray into music videos...
