Biography

 

A freelance guitarist and music technician based in North London, I perform regularly and provide creative and technical services for theatre and media composers: copying, reductions, arranging, keyboard/Muse Receptor programming, live sound, backing tracks and so on.

 

From 11/09 I will be playing guitar for the National Theatre's latest family show at the Olivier: Mark Ravenhill's adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Nation, with music by Adrian Sutton.

 

Alongside my creative and technical work I also lecture in jazz theory and coach several ensembles at the University of Southampton.
