Firstly, I've spent the last 10 years as the bassist for The Absolute Stone Roses and their sister show The Madchester Experience. Starting off in back rooms of quiet venues to headline slots at some of the best tribute festivals the UK has to offer - I've played many different stages and to a wide range of audiences in my time. I've always maintained the approach that regardless of whether a show is a high capacity sell out or a small intimate affair, those in attendance deserve a top quality performance. I settle for nothing less.

I've had to learn songs at short notice and perform to large crowds with little rehearsal - to be honest, I love the challenge! My approach is not one of 'lets learn the root notes and that'll be fine...', but one of understanding my parts, using techniques in keeping with style and genre, and appreciating where in the soundscape my bass needs to be in relation to other instruments. This is what elevates me above the rest, and what has got me to where I am today. Big-headed I know, but being confident in my abilities is vital in the world of session musicianship.

With an extensive repertoire of songs under my belt - particularly in the indie and rock genre - I enthusiastically welcome opportunities to broaden my horizons and play new styles. With musical tastes ranging from funk to electro-swing, from metal to jazz, there is very little music that I'm not drawn to in some way or another!
