I took a keen interest in the guitar at the age of 17 and have played with a number of bands including - Under The Stair, Promiscuous Lunch, Wave, Big Bus Groovy and Eve's Orchard.
Taught by Fred Zeppelin guitarist Keith Jenkins, I went on to study at the Guitar School in Bearwood where I now teach. I recorded my first instrumental guitar solo album 'Without Words' in 2001 and have since been writing and recording new material - some of which has been used in several short animation films. Other projects have included work with theatre productions at Birminghams Midland Art Centre.
