Experience & Background
I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and teaching since 2007. Alongside teaching I’m an active professional musician with international touring experience. My music has been played on radio stations around the world including Kerrang! and BBC Radio Artist of The Week. My most memorable moment was playing in a band supporting The Cranberries to 9,000 people in Paris. I bring this real-world experience into my lessons, helping students develop confidence, strong musical foundations and a genuine love for playing guitar.
