I've played with many people over the years and supported various acts such as David Bowie with the real people, Spandau ballet,Tpau, and have just finished a UK tour playing keyboards / synth for Liverpool band China Crisis. I'm currently working on a few projects including "Capone" and invlolved in one half of Mr Chop playing for various funk outfits for record release. I am available for a variety of musical projects including live gigs, sessions, writing/remixing and keyboard tuition. I am particularly interested in working with producers who would like my input on their project.went to Sandown College in liverpool in 1994, I learnt the wayz of the funk and jazz. I got into loads of new stuff via john peel and the cutting edge with eddie pillar, from then i have always been up for experimenting with new an old technology but always keeping a live approach to my performing.........Please check me out Live At A John Peel tribute night were i was just experimenting with a few differnt feels...Enjoy!object width="425" height="350"
