About

I am a highly experienced music educator, researcher, and composer-performer. I have been teaching professionally for 10 years and, alongside individual private teaching, I am employed as a tutor by Newcastle University and have have taught for the Rock Project Newcastle. I teach both guitar and bass, and can offer guidance and instruction in using, or misusing, guitar effects pedals. I play and teach all styles and genres of popular and contemporary music, and teach both classical and popular music theory.

I have experience in playing professional festivals such as Latitude, Secret Garden Party, and Green Man; and at large concert venues like the Alexandra Palace, and the Electric Ballroom. I have played with artists including the B.B.C. Concert Orchestra and Maverick Sabre, and supported professional artists such as the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Wavves, and Focus.
