ABOUT
EDUCATION
After completing my GCSE's and A-Levels, I was fortunate enough to be given an unconditional offer to study at LIPA. I left Paul McCartneys school of fame with a 2:1 Degree in music and also a Diploma in sound technology. I met Sir Paul twice there and he was the perfect gentleman.
WEDDINGS & EVENTS
Where do I start ? I began performing at events whilst at LIPA. Since then I literally have thousands under my belt all around the world. Some recent events include the sultans palace Instanbul, Thomas Cooks 175th anniversary party in Cyprus and Cheshire Life Magazine's 80th birthday. I am also the musical director for the christmas events at Tatton Park, The ICC and Aintree Racecourse.
LIFE ON THE ROAD
I am fortunate enough to tour regularly with grammy winning artists and household names.
I have spent the last 8 years touring regularly with The Three Degrees, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Tavares, Freda Payne, The Platters and many more. I regularly perform at some of the UK's biggest venues including The O2, The Echo, The NIA and The Manchester Arena.
