I started to teach in the mid1980?s, initially from home in Islington, concentrating on electric styles Rock/Blues/Jazz. 1987 saw me join the visiting instrumental staff of Westminster School, where I have remained, and currently hold the post of Head of Jazz. I promote the Jazz Concert programme throughout the year, and continue to teach guitar students on a 1-1 basis.
The 1990?s saw my guitar interests develop to include Classical Guitar and Acoustic Fingerstyle, clawhammer associated with singer/songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and James Taylor.

In 1998 I joined ?World Music? influenced 7 piece Zubop, wih whom I recorded 3CD?s and toured extensively in the UK , collaborating and writing with Juldeh Camara, a master musician from the Gambia.

In addition to these performing and teaching commitments, I have found time to rewrite ?A Tune a Day Guitar? for Music Sales. Appearing as ?A New Tune a Day for Acoustic Guitar? in their complete revamp of a classic teaching series(2006). Another book is in the pipeline, ?Junior Complete Guitar Player?, in the series ?Complete Guitar Player? by Russ Shipton,

I have taught Beginners Couses at the City Lit(erary Institute) in Covent Garden, and continue to appear in Pizza Express accompanying our finest Jazz Singers.

I have recently completed producing the Debut CD for Chris Sykes, a songwriter, poet and playwright, with a string of successes to his name. We hope to take a show to the Edinburgh Festival next year (2010)
