"Very interesting music on both sides. Always good to discover new labels making adventurous music." - Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 1, on Forsaken feat. Ben Blackmore, "Sagrada"
Hello, thanks for visiting my site! I'm a guitar and bass player living in Bristol UK, playing a variety of musical styles including jazz, bossa nova, classical, dub/dubstep/electronic and rock.

There is a weekly jazz jam session run by myself and James Morton. It's on Monday nights, 8 - 10pm at The Full Moon on Stokes Croft, Bristol.
Recent projects include recording sessions with "head turning producer" Forsaken: Our tune "Sagrada" has been played twice on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide BBC Radio 1 show. We also had other material played on Mary Anne Hobbs' show on Dec 2nd 2008. Three of our tunes were recently used on the ITV/Skyarts TV programme "Graffiti - from tags to riches."
The rock band YANU is on hiatus til spring. Sorry!
I study the classical guitar with Roger Winfield at Bristol's Spanish Guitar Centre, which is the place to go for all nylon string action!
