I’m always looking for and excited to take part in new bands or projects, below are some of the things I’m currently doing
Meerkat Parade
This band started in early 2018 when I met the incredible drummer Max Popp who moved to Scotland from Chicago. Along with Huw Rees (Keys), James Lindsay (Bass) and later Martin Kershaw (Saxes) we recorded some my compositions with Gus Stirrat at Solas Sound in Glasgow.
Hidden Waves
This is my most recent project playing all my own compositions, a lot of which were written during my time spent in Northern Spain during lockdown. We recorded an album ‘Coloured Stones’ in 2023 which also featured special guest Urpi Barco, an amazing singer from Bogota, Colombia. It features Paul Harrison (Keys), Doug Hough (Drums) and James Lindsay (Bass).
Guitar Heroes
This is a live chronological history of Jazz Guitar, playing music from all the greats such as Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Charlie Christian, Jim Hall, Django Reinhardt and George Benson. Trio featuring Dave Series (Guitar), Max Popp (Drums), Mario Caribé (Bass) and also as Quartet featuring special guest Paul Kirby (Keys) who I toured South Korea with in 2023.
The Funky Side of Grant Green
“Sensational set. Fabulous musicians recreating that incredible Hammond sound. Great atmosphere in this tiny venue - felt like I was in a smoky dive bar in Chicago.” Fiona Hayward
Tribute to the legendary Grant Green with the hammond organ trio (Featuring Davide Rinaldi (Drums) and Huw Rees (Hammond Organ), me (Guitar). We are playing his more funky music from the later period of his life.
Silent Movie Score - The Last of the Mohicans
I’m really excited to be doing my first silent movie score along to the 1920’s classic The Last Of The Mohicans. It features the incredible bassist Elie Afif and me on guitar and effects.
