- I started playing bass when I was 11 years old and formed my first band with my brother, called "The Bullets"!
Fast forward to 1993 when I went to Leeds College of Music where learnt the double bass, as well as other tricks of the trade such as reading and improvising over jazz changes.
After a couple of years of playing gigs overseas I returned to Manchester where I now live and work. - Joined the band - 2015
