My first influences came from seeing Hendrix, Floyd, The Move, Nice, Cream, Zeppelin, Free, Rory Gallagher, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Traffic, Groundhogs, and loads of other bands that went on to become legends and guitar heroes. These great musicians had a profound effect on me.
After lots of practice I soon found myself playing with several locaI pop, blues, rock and country bands. Around this time I was asked to sit in with various bands on the bass guitar and quickly learned the relationship and differences between the guitar and bass. I also started giving lessons.
I ended up playing with White Plains and touring extensively in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Holland and now it was time to think about getting off of the road.
After leaving White Plains and doing some final international stints in Canada and The Emirates I was ready for fresh challenges.
I spent the 80's gigging with local bands and in the 90's I enjoyed developing the teaching side of things and recording in my dedicated fully-equipped teaching studio.
I am fully trained in instrument setups by Patrick James Eggle so if your instrument needs any adjustments I would be happy to sort that out for you.
