About

I have been a freelance musician for 35 years. I started out in rock bands in the 80’s and moved into musical theatre and session work as an alternative to touring in the 90’s. I spent over ten years in London as a session player in West End shows, TV, film and other studio sessions. I continued with this kind of work from 2001 on and developed a studio recording business based at my home. I have run this and a teaching practice ever since. Today the business is about professional album production, voice-over work, music for specific events and simply for people to come and work with me on their own ideas. The teaching side of my work is likewise open to anyone who wishes to play for pleasure from beginner to advanced.
