Hammond Organ player available for sessions/gigs

About Me

I am 35, and work as a professional musician in the Nottingham area, both as a live performer and a session musician. My main instrument is the Hammond Organ, I am currently writing and performing with the band Stoned Soul Picnic, we have several releases under our belt and appear on various compilation albums on labels such as Acid Jazz. We have just finished our first LP and this will be released on Soul Cookers records in Europe and Hammondbeat records in USA. I have also, over the years, played with or recorded with The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, Lee 'scratch' Perry, Ronnie Wood, Steve Marriott and Desmond Dekker... The Lee Perry sessions resulted in us winning the Grammy award for best Reggae Album, and a live DVD followed.Would like some more good paying session work or gigs. Would like to play with The Who, The Rolling Stones or maybe Paul Weller...
