Performance
Live gigs, theatre productions and touring.
Professional Performance · Private Tuition · School Group Sessions · Tailored Workshops
I started playing and having lessons at just six years old, joining Berkshire Rock & Pop School at seven. Music was part of my life from the beginning. My Dad was a well-known guitarist, and I was fortunate to tour with him from a young age and later work alongside him. I also learnt drumming from Bret Morgan, who had an important influence on my development. Those early experiences grew into a professional career spanning recordings, live gigs, studio work and shows, including Top 10 chart work and a Christmas number one.

EXPLORE WORKSHOPS →For me, professional playing starts long before I sit behind the kit. I prepare carefully for live gigs, recording sessions, theatre shows and performances, paying close attention to equipment, music, arrangements, click tracks and the setup each job requires.

Practice between lessons has a purpose. I set homework around your individual development needs and, wherever possible, music that appeals to you. We then review your progress at the next lesson and build from there.
