I'm will be writing some articles and publishing them on the site – a new article each month. I know that there are lots of new musicians, students and bands who are looking for background and advice to help them in their early days. This months "Auditions" and the importance of being Prepared and how to condense your skills into a few decisive moments.
I am presenting a "What's it Like" lecture to the students at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford on Tuesday 1st of March, 1100 to 1300hrs in Guildford. I'm hoping to talk through what I do, Teach, Gig for Bands, Tour, play for Sessions and over the last five years work with Record Labels as a Musical Director to help with new talent, bands and helping bands and musicians develop.
Really looking forward it – it's great to get questions and be able to share some experience.
We're hoping to get some material from the lecture which we hope to get online – so check back in March!!
I'm sure you already know – but the "London Bass Guitar" show is at Olympia, 12 & 13th March! Check-out all the stands, Eden, Overwater and Rotosound and perhaps see you there?
I'm really pleased to announce my endorsement for Rock-Wire.
Rock-Wire makes and provides top-quality cables for musicians – using the strongest and most durable components, but also designed to give the best results. I'm really pleased to be their first "endorseee"!
I've found some more of your YouTube videos – this time Chris Norman.
I am really pleased to be "online" at the Overwater Basses website as one of their current Endorsees. Chris and all the staff at Overwater have listened and understood all of my requirements as a bass guitarist and I now have the best guitar I have ever played. I can't thank them enough for their support!
Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year?
