About Me

People I have been playing live with recently include; Peven Everett, Reel People and Faze Action (on Bass). I've been playing keyboards for The Bellagios, Simon Bartholomew and Faze Action as well. I do some studio work playing Bass, Keys, Guitar and 'cello for Faze Action, Copyright, Yam Who and in the past I have had the great pleasure in working with Yukihiro Fukutomi, A Hundred Birds and the late great John Entwhistle. Me and my brother Simon have been doing Faze Action for ten years now and still going strong. We are DJing all the time so please check out Faze Action on myspace.com/fazeaction. Look out for the all new Faze Action live show coming soon (It's gonna be monster!!). In the past we have been around the world a couple of times including a stint with Groove Armada across the USA and Canada. So check us out and come and join the party.
