Restaurant week.
I'm a 25 year old singer/songwriter from Gateshead. I've been playing guitar since the age of 6. In 2015 I completed my Grade 8 electric guitar and in 2019 I graduated from Newcastle University with a Bachelor's degree in Music (2:1).
I have a wealth of performance experience, first and foremost playing gigs with local rock band Fossway (lead guitarist and vocals), playing venues both local and in other UK cities. In more recent years I have focused more on solo acoustic gigs, of which I now have a fair few under my belt. I love playing music of a variety of genres but have a particular love of playing 60s and 70s rock and pop.
When learning new repertoire, I like to put an emphasis on my guitar playing through use of colourful chords and use of hybrid picking techniques. I also love using my looper to stack chord progressions and for solos, most of which are improvised on the night.
I also write songs that I like to include in my sets as well. My songwriting influences include Steely Dan, Neil Young, Prefab Sprout, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and many more.
