Bass

I switched to mainly playing bass guitar in 2014. and I've been playing residencies in the Middle East since.

As resident bands we develop very large repertoires of rock, pop, latin and jazz covers, playing three or four sets, four to six nights every week.

Recently I've appeared as Sir Paul McCartney in the "Abbey Rhodes" Beatles tribute and as Sting my own tribute show, "Mr Sting 3.1".

I also play electric upright bass and enjoy bringing that out for jazz jams.

Guitar

Most of my guitar experience is as a solo act, playing a huge range of acoustic covers with or without backing tracks, depending on the gig.

In a band situation I'm a capable rhythm guitarist and get away with playing lead from time to time.

Piano/Keyboards

My last full time piano gig was actually cut short by the advent of covid, but I can jump back in at any time. As always I have a massive repertoire of jazz, pop and rock classics with tracks as required.

On a band gig I often combine keyboards with bass or guitar, switching back and forth as required.

Vocals & Acting

Working as a solo act or band vocalist I sing lead or backing vocals all night, almost every night. I'm comfortable with fronting a show, memorizing a script, and performing simple choreography.

I've also appeared as an actor on various professional and amateur stage productions, musicals, Shakespeare, theatre in education, adverts, short films, and corporate training events.

I occasionally do commercial voice over work, incidental music composition, and audio editing for radio and video.
