ABOUT

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!


You will find in the site information about my live and studio work, my online session service and details about the one to one bass tuition that I offer.


My professional bass-playing career started way back in 1989 and I have been working as either a band member or session player ever since. For the last 35 years, I have toured and played live shows worldwide with a wide variety of artists including Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Witness (Ex Hipsway), Niagara (France), Tony Hadley, Deccatree (USA), Go West, Paul Young, Rick Astley, Nik Kershaw, Holly Johnson, William Bell, Belinda Carlisle, Bananarama, Toby Bourke feat George Michael, Nick Heyward, The Kelly Family (Germany) and many others.


I have been playing bass with Martin Fry’s ABC since 2005 and continue to do so, touring worldwide. ABC recently completed a 21 date, sold out UK orchestral tour performing the Lexicon of Love Live with the South Bank Sinfonia. I also continue to tour the UK, Europe and Japan with Belinda Carlisle, including an arena tour in 2024 as special guest to Rick Astley.


Although the majority of my career has been live work, I have played on many commercial recordings and radio sessions for a number of artists including Bruce Dickinson’s Tattooed Millionaire Album, Jane by Jane Macdonald, The Chris Moyles Parody album recorded at Abbey Road, ABC Traffic, tracks on Matt Backer’s recent albums and the movie soundtrack for the Christmas film 'Nativity' featuring Martin Freeman.
