ABOUT

Just moved to Dublin from the UK. Gigged playing bass and singing BV for 3 years in a function band I co-founded called The Upsiders, where I would gig on average once a weekend. We released an EP and album on top of the function work, and played festivals, weddings, corporate gigs and regular pub slots.

Despite gigging as a bassist, I am predominantly a guitarist and have been involved with various jazz jam sessions and teach guitar on the side.

EQUIPMENT

Fender Telecaster here in Ireland.

As I have just moved here I am yet to buy amplification but can do depending on the band's current equipment.

I am on the lookout for a new bass, but again will prioritise buying based on needs of the band.

I have an SM57 & mic stand I use for recording which can double as a backing vocal mix if we need.
