Music
Having only ever played in bands and with other songwriters in the past, I’ve now started gigging on my own with a set of songs I’ve been writing over the last year. Armed with just an acoustic guitar in a variety of tunings, my style means using the instrument to create all manner of percussive noises, basslines and melodies to boot.
Dates
Mon 25th July – HotVox Festival @ Proud Galleries, Camden
Mon 8th August – Blue Monday @ Boogaloo, Highgate, London
Fri 14th October – Rogue Tune Arts Club, Oasis Centre, Waterloo, London

About Me
My week is divided up into musician/engineer/ tutor/youth worker slices in one big exciting cake. I offer private guitar lessons (info here) and also run YMCA Music Room - an after-school youth project in Wimbledon enabling young people to have a go on an instrument and run gigs etc. I'm also involved in quite a few musical ventures - see below...
Current Working On:
Guitar Lessons
Based in Raynes Park, I offer individual guitar lessons from beginners to advanced players for £25/hour.
Miri
I'm on guitar duties for London-based singer songwriter Miri, and have been playing a series of small gigs and guest slots to promote her debut album 'Canvas'.
