My current music projects are The Empty Pages, (Blues, Blues/Rock, Country, Folk) who have released 2 albums, 2 E.P.s and 1 single since 2017, and Lives On Hold, (Rock, Pop/Punk) who have released 1 album and 1 E.P. since 2022. Both projects have enjoyed radio airplay all around the world and have had positive reviews from multiple online music bloggers and other magazines.
I spent 8 years (2006-2014) playing, recording and touring with The Contrast, an indie-pop band from Peterborough. Highlights included playing the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas in 2006; playing New York's CMJ Music Marathon festival 3 years running (2006-2009); playing on the iconic arched stage at The Cavern Club as part of the International Pop Overthrow festival in Liverpool several years running from 2006 onwards; playing on the Artist Bandstand Stage at the 2011 Hard Rock Calling event in Hyde Park, London; opening for Mott the Hoople at the Manchester O2 in 2013; recording several albums with producer Andy Hawkins in Leeds, while being signed to New York record labels Rainbow Quartz and Little Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records, as well as UK label Angel Air Records.
I spent 13 years (2007-2020) playing pubs, clubs, weddings, parties and other functions with The Overdubs, a popular rock/pop covers band.
Earlier career highlights include playing and writing with Tauracine, a pop-punk band from Peterborough, who released several EPs and shared a stage with the likes of Bowling for Soup, Zebrahead and Army of Freshmen.
My first experience of extensive gigging and recording came with rock band White Heat (1999-2001). The band released an album in 2000 which had positive reviews from Kerrang and Classic Rock magazines.
Before starting my guitar teaching business in 2007 I was manager of Peterborough Music from 2001-2007, and before that I worked as a sales assistant at Oundle Music, a job I went to straight after leaving school in 1998.
Aside from guitar lessons, I am available for session work on the guitar or as a backing vocalist. Please contact me to discuss further.
