Gig guide
Update Jan 2025
I am still working / teaching / clatter banging / recording and 'doing my thing' when and where I can, however, I have also made the decision to reduce the amount of regular 'bar gigs' I do in order for me to concentrate on other projects.
​
I'll endeavour to keep my gig guide up to date, but gigs are falling over and new gigs are coming so frequently, there is a chance not all information is updated. Please just send me a message and I'll let you know personally what's happening on any given date.
Here is my Contact page. Please feel free to drop me a line anytime.
