….with West Country with John Hooper and fiddler Ali Nourse. Three Piece Suite hosted a monthly venue in Somerset for almost a decade, performing with national and international guest jazz and folk musicians and also toured with the legendary Fred Wedlock, performing many combined concerts.

Through performing with other musicians I've incorporated folk, jazz, flamenco and world music styles into my playing technique. I've led and arranged for the Bristol Classical Guitar Society Ensemble for over a decade, run community singing groups and taught classical and folk guitar to all ages and all abilities for many years!
