My Mum and Dad got me a guitar for Christmas in 1996 and I’ve never put it down since. In this time I’ve become a grade 8 (Rockschool) guitarist and I studied at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford; where I gained a distinction in contemporary guitar & performance.
I currently play live (electric guitar) with Suburban Symphony. I also play regular acoustic gigs with Tom & Giz, GizByrne & The Indiependence. Over the years I’ve performed with other bands and artists too such as Bad Taste, Inflatable Love Sheep, Bashphelt, No_Peace, Finger Waggers, Hobo Chic, White Widow, The Hillside Development Project, Shatinga, Craig’s Sister Darren, Red Confusion, Quango and many other bands and artists requiring my services as a live guitarist.
As well as playing live, I’ve also been a recording guitarist since the year 2000. I remember my first time in the studio really well, as it was with my band at the time ‘Inflatable Love Sheep’ recording a 3 track EP (a band name I will never forget). Since then, I’ve recorded in the studio more times than I can remember with the above projects and when needed as a session guitarist.
If your guitarist is unable to do an upcoming gig, then please do get in touch as I would be happy to fill their boots if I’m available. As well as being a competent guitarist; I’m also a competent backing vocalist that can pitch harmonies instantly, I can read music and I can improvise in pretty much any style and key. Therefore, if you require a guitarist whether it be for a gig or a recording session, then please do get in touch.
