I play Guitar and Bass professionally and I regularly sing Backing Vocals in a variety of groups covering many different styles. I am comfortable playing both lead and rhythm guitar. Notable work I have been involved in recently is Chain Gang, a Funk/Soul band and The Rewinds, a Rockier outfit playing hits from the 60's to the present day.

I have achieved a BA(Hons)Music Performance from ACM in Guildford UK.

I have been teaching Guitar and Bass privately for the last 5 years and have been teaching groups at The Reading Rock Academy since 2010.

I coach bands and often play drums or sing to complete band line ups. As part of The Reading Rock Academy I have also taught Drums.

I am currently working as a peripatetic teacher in two schools.

I'm a confident sight reader and have a strong understanding of music theory.

I have written music for various creative projects of my own and have most recently composed music for a film and worked as a freelance writer for artists.
