About Me

I recorded these tracks this january with my current band with Julie Walkington on bass, richie howard on clarinets and nick smalley on drums. As well as running my band I work lots as a side man. Musicians I've worked with include Jim Mullen, Alan Barnes, The london jazz orchestra and loads of fellow myspace people..I also work in theatre from time to time doing the odd stint on the rat pack. The last show I was musical director for was 'A nightingale sang in Eldon Square' at the 'Live' theatre in Newcastle which was given 4 stars by the guardian.

Influences: lots really. Started off as a big 70's acoustic music fan. Favourites were paul simon, joni mitchell and carole king but that was never going to make me popular at school so I branched out into classical music and went to music college.... that didn't work either. It did mean I got into lots of classical music from a period spanning hundreds of years. I love bach, messiaen, bartok, ravel to name but a few. these days I listen to bjork, the bad plus, brad mehldau, tom waits, bill frisell, wayne shorter, .. oh, im a massive WOODY ALLEN fan. he's a big influence. also seinfeld. and all the old 70s guys I previously mentioned.
Type of Label: Major
