OTHER SKILLS:
MUSICAL EXPERIENCE:
I have played guitar for over 25 years in bands in a wide variety of styles ranging from Punk,
Punk/Blues, Soul, Gypsy Jazz, Trad/Dixieland Jazz, Folk, Heavy/Glam Metal, Pop/Covers,
Cabaret and any crossovers in-between. I occasionally perform as a solo act performing
Gypsy/European Jazz to a backing track/loop. I have played/toured in the USA, Canada and
Costa Rica and all over the British Isles, France and Serbia. In the last 2/3 years, I have
played banjo in a jazz band, double-bass/bandleader with my own quartet (Nightflight) and
electric and double-bass in trios/quartets. Much of my musical experience has involved
composing original music for performance.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
I have considerable teaching experience over a number of years through all age ranges and
have taken a pupil through Grades 5 and 6 on Electric Guitar in which he achieved 75%. I
was working through Grade 8 with this pupil until I moved to London. He passed this Grade
8 exam in July 2010. I am a member of the Musicians’ Union and have passed a CRB check
(available on request).
Since November 2013 I have been teaching guitar at Eveline Day School in Balham on a part-
time basis to pupils aged 6 to 10 years teaching chords and simple songs, some of which the
pupils played at recitals held at the school in June and December of 2014 and May 2015.
I have a great deal of experience in using Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Outlook and Excel
and music programmes (Logic, Finale, Adobe Audition, Nuendo etc).
