I am super enthusiastic about bass and have played over 1,500 shows over the past 20 years.
I have extensive experience of playing many styles including pop, rock, soul, funk, metal, blues, folk and country.
I am a very capable dep musician and can comfortably learn full sets at very short notice.
I also have a known repertoire of 100’s of popular tracks in most genres.
I play both 4 and 5 string fretted and fretless electric basses depending on the gig.
I have studied the Theory of Music and am proficient at sight-reading, composition and improvisation.
I am equally happy following the direction of an MD or contributing ideas if required.
I am a proficient vocalist in the Baritone and Tenor ranges.
