W elcome to my website. I am a
guitarist, teacher and writer and have recently relocated to
Bancyfelin near Carmarthen after many enjoyable years
performing and teaching in and around Wiltshire.
Since graduating from Dartington
College of Arts, I have taught guitar and bass in many
schools and privately whilst also performing with bands and
projects ranging from rock, blues, classical and folk to
'60s soul, jazz and progressive rock.
Having previously built and run my own
studio in Wiltshire I'm thoroughly excited to be beginning
new adventures in the beautiful surroundings of
Carmarthenshire.

New Pastures...
From Wiltshire to Wales
We've finally made the move from Warminster to
Carmarthenshire after a summer of packing, DIY, last
gigs and final lessons. There's lots to do to get up and
running at the new house including dry-lining,
insulating and installing the new studio so I'll be
working from a temporary space for a while.
In the meantime, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thanks
to all my students, recording clients, musical
collaborators and fellow tutors for making the last few
years in Wiltshire so fantastic :-)

Studio up and running
it's nice to be home
The studio construction was finished in August and
I managed to move in just in time before the start
of the new school term.
So far, it's turning out to be a fantastic teaching
space and the sound proofing is much better than I
expected. And I've already had my first recording
booking..!
