As mentioned a while back, I am working with an originals band.

An album is written and first full band rehearsals took place this weekend.

It sounds awesome ….

Played guitar in a capoeira show at the Cordao De Ouro group’s 15th Batizado.

Two pieces were performed:

1) Alquimia - I wrote this piece for a dance which the capoeristas were performing
2) A Day in the Woods - from my album “Subtraction”

The performance of Alquimia can be seen here.

I was recently approached by a singer / song writer / guitarist to get involved with a major project he’s putting together.

An album is written, a band is in place and it looks like 2010 will be a big year for this band.

More details as they become available …

Sonant

Am working with the lovely Alix Covenant to get the Sonant project off the ground.
Song writing is going well and I have recently been in talks with a bass player and a drummer … so watch this space.

The Hazards

I recently joined a covers band - The Hazards - playing chilli peppers, rage against the machine, kings of leon and the likes …

… is great to get the JS1000 out and put it through its paces.

First gig is at Watlington on 19th December 2009

Solo gigs and album

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:09:05 +0000

OK … so I’ve been a bit lapse about updating the website recently! It’s been a busy few months.

I did a solo gig at St Christopher’s Hospice in South London and played at a wedding in a gorgeous stone church at Stazzema in the Tuscan hills of Italy.

Both were fantastic experiences!

I’ve also been getting excellent feedback on the 100 or so albums I’ve got out there in the wild.
