I've been doing professional gigs on bass since the seventies. A lot of Swing and Country but original rock music too. I can turn my hand to most styles and can compose and arrange when it's appropriate. Happy to lead or collaborate. If you've got a specific concept and/or group that has a focus I can relate to, I'll find a way to fit in quickly. I've done heaps of recordings over the years and am physically fit. I've done many thousands of gigs, but lately, like most people, only a few! I Listen, practise and write all the time to keep inspired! This year, I'm teaching and studying 4 days a week. I'm prepared to take time off to tour.
