*NOTE* My SoundCloud may not include material I've played on, or either written for that matter, much of it does, but all of it includes material in which I held a pivitoal role in it's creation, often in a production capacity. Primarily, I consider myself to be a musician and songwriter. Been active on the gig scene since the age of 14. I'm an accomplished handler of most mainstream genres, and always consider all genres presented to me. My live rig is as follows: Basses: Fender Jazz, Rickenbacker 4003, Microkorg, and I hope to acquire a double bass sometime later this year. Amp: Trace Elliot 715SMC FX: Octave, Flange, Dist, Compression, Synth-Wah, Delay. I guarantee a professional but easy going attitude and 100% reliability. Session work paid, or otherwise, will also be considered.

Between 1990 and the present, I have played in front of everyone from two men and a dog in the Hope & Anchor, to an estimated 15,000 at Trafalgar Square.

I'm a quick learner, and I'm always just as keen to get a new band gig-ready as they are!

I'm also a producer/engineer, with a particular interest in live recording, and I am currently honing these particular skills on location. Festivals, and the like.

I released a solo EP called 'Recorded For Training Purposes' in 2009. I played all the instruments on the project; guitar, bass, drums, synths, mandolin, ukelele, and of course the vocal parts.

Here are some clips from it:

My home studio is Apple Logic 9.

I can offer multitrack location recording, as well as digital restorations of cassette multitracks and DAT transfers. I don't charge for these services although donations are always welcome as I like to have my equipment serviced on a regular basis.
