About Me

born and brought up in manchester. went to study (not music) in leeds in '99, stayed there for a bit playing with some nice people. moved to london in 2005 to study jazz at the guildhall. now graduated, working on a number of original projects, as well as playing freelance around london and beyond.

if you want to see what gigs i'm doing then please check my website because i'm too lazy to put them into myspace as well.

i haven't got any of my own music up here yet but you can hear me on quite a few other people's myspaces - check out hannes riepler , kristian borring , andrea di biase , pluralism , amongst others.
