Biography
This guitarist, teacher and composer from the South of England has an eclectic repertoire - having played in seemingly every situation from solo acoustic performances during wedding ceremonies, to playing with string quartets, full orchestras, studio session work, live radio sessions, UK tours, and all levels of festivals, clubs and corporate function gigs. Such extensive live work, combined with many years of musical study and compositional experience, results in an exceptionally versatile guitarist who can deliver with style in multiple genres.
As a fingerstyle acoustic guitarist and composer, he is available for hire for all occasions. From weddings and private parties to open-public performances and session guitar work, the music and service provided is of the highest quality.
In addition to one-on-one sessions, short video lessons can be made after a lesson has taken place to capture key topics that have been covered, and emailed to the student so they can watch (and re-watch) the material presented.
RECOMMENDATIONS
"Incredibly talented and highly motivated, his strong sense of musicianship and knowledge of his instrument convinces me of his ability not only as a performer, but also as a teacher" - T. Doyle, Producer
"His acoustic performance during our wedding ceremony made the whole experience - for us and our friends - a wonderfully intimate and warm experience. There was a feeling of deep satisfaction as we enjoyed his music....and he even composed an original piece for us! Thank you so much " - Clare & Daniel Prest
"He is a first class musician and a master of guitar sounds. I had a song which needed the right guitar part, and he provided it online in a couple of days, in a format which I could easily import into Cubase. File exchange means geography (I live in Germany) is no obstacle." - A. Smart, Singer/songwriter (online session client)
"....a superb tutor, he is an excellent communicator of both practise and theory, and is very adaptable to the student's needs and interests. He is both challenging and encouraging....makes very effective use of different media....a fine musician on both acoustic and electric guitar." - N. O'Dowd, Student
