Bill Fleming

About Me

Welcome. Bill Fleming is a musician residing, also living in Scotland. The age-old stories of man earning a secure, steady income through playing jazz have led me to devote my entire existence to music, through the medium of SAXOPHONE. I recently graduated from University of Strathclyde's BA Applied Music course w/ Honours. Currently a member of Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (www.snjo.co.uk) where I play baritone saxophone. Occasionally I utilise a piano to ruin silence. Or Fender Rhodes, if i'm lucky. This happens when i'm one seventh of live house/drum'n'bass/downtempo outfit Sher Khan (www.myspace.com/sherkhanmusic). Other stuff happens to me from day to day, but I think this is neither the time, nor the place to discuss it. If I told you, i'd have to kill you...dead. More info If and when it happens. Notice the capital I in If.
