Hi all. I have been playing bass for approx 16 years after starting out on acoustic guitar as a kid. Since moving to bass, I have toured all over the UK and Ireland and spent a few years signed to a record company in London. I have also done hundreds of studio sessions ranging from demos to EPs to album tracks and in all levels of studio. Im 31 now and decided to go back to college to study music 3 years ago. Im currently in year 3 of a degree course in professional musicianship. At this point I am mainly looking to work in the function band area but also looking to do some session work. Im pretty easy going when it comes to musical taste. Basically there is no style that hasnt got some area that I like.
