An ability to be adaptive and versatile.   

   

I bring experience, professionalism, kick ass equipment and my own transport.

 

I promise NOT to "jazz" or "blues" over your hard worked set.

I promise to play the bass, the whole bass and nothing but the bass!

I am very comfortable working to both conventional monitors and in ear monitoring.

I am very comfortable working to click tracks.

 

Function work:   Weddings and functions form the bulk of my work. I have over 20 years experience of playing at these type of events. I get regular dep work with high end function bands such as Funk Brother Soul Sister, Alleycatz, Studio 54, Glitterball, Motown Gold and The Motown Collective.

 

Tribute Artists:  I have the privilege of depping for Magic Queen (Europe's No1 Queen Tribute Act) at various UK festivals and theatre shows and I would love to do more of this sort of work.

I also dep for Northern Soul specialists Sold on Soul.

 

Pubs and Clubs: I spent 6 years fronting a trio working the pub/club circuit (35 - 40 gigs a year) so am more than comfortable with the pub/club rock/blues genre. 

 

Pit Bands: Yes, I read music!  I'll caveat that by confessing that I don't read enough to sight read on the night, but if you want to send me the dots in advance, I can play to scores if required. Recent house band deps have included at The Hideaway Club in Streatham. Also at The Hard Rock Hotel, Marble Arch, with scouse sensation Joe Slater.

I have dep'd for musicals of Wicked, Grease and Rocky Horror Show too.

 

Original Artists:  I am currently holding the bass chair for both '80s popsters, Daniel Takes A Train and the Jane Smith project - most notably supporting Scouting For Girls at 2022's Orpington Priory Festival . 

I am always open to working on other original projects.
