I have never forgotten how lucky I am to have earned a living playing the guitar. I have toured and recorded at a very high level playing in some of the best studio’s in The World and playing small gigs, medium sized gigs, theatres, arenas, stadiums and massive open air festivals. I love it all!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let me hand over my extensive knowledge to YOU.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I am a veteran of many tours and sessions and in the past played with Red Box who had a few hits in the ’80’s (I wasn’t in them then… too young \ud83d\ude1c), but I currently play guitar for Jeff Wayne on his amazing LIVE arena shows for his masterpiece:
The War of The Worlds<\/strong>… SO much fun to play with a 36 piece orchestra, 9 piece rock band and have a 3 ton fire-breathing martian fighting machine above your head!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitar Technician<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did my first guitar tech duties with a huge prog rock band called ‘ELP’. Some will know this as Emerson Lake and Palmer, but I did the tour when they were Emerson, Lake and Powell (the wonderful Cozy Powell on drums).
Since this, I have worked with numberous rock and metal bands, looking after and setting up their guitar equipment. I have travelled around the World multiple times and been involved with some of the biggest festivals on the planet.
Bands include: Down, Trivium, Cradle of Filth, Iced Earth, Strapping Young Lad, The Pretty Reckless, Cannibal Corpse, Lacuna Coil, Nevermore, Tiamat, Moonspell, In Flames, Everygrey<\/strong> and loads more who I can’t remember \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I teach Guitar and Audio Production at West Herts College in Watford and I also teach Audio Production at Masters Level at the University of Westminster.
Consequently, I am fully DBS checked.
I first started teaching in the 80’s, so I am VERY experienced!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
