Occupation  I am a Special Educational Assistant by Day.
Biography  I was born in 1961 in Nuneaton, a town close to the city of Coventry U.K. I now live in Burbage close to the city of Leicester U.K. My main instrument until recently is the classical guitar. I taught myself in the main and eventually got a grade eight with honours and won a couple of competitions. I found it a bit of an ordeal performing in public and that is one reason I play the bass now. I used to sing in folk clubs many years ago. I can play keyboards a bit and I spent a couple of years learning to play the drums. That has come in useful for playing the bass. I have picked up the bass in the past (I once supported the Bay City Rollers on bass) but never considered myself a Bassist. Now I am learning seriously. The band I am in now do some funky stuff which I enjoy a lot. I had to learn to do slap very quickly when I joined them! I am in a band called Inferno. You can have a look if you like at Inferno. We all work very hard in this band which is the way I like it.
