Recently I had the pleasure of playing bass with the wonderful @ninanesbitt at the O2 Arena. I love this project so much, super organic folk rock from the heart, feels epic to be playing venues like this with this sort of music.
Today we play @theheartlandfestival in Scotland Nina’s stomping grounds, what a life!
Big love to all xx
Here’s one for the Metalheadz……
Back in 22 I was invited to join the team for the recording of TesseracT’s 5th studio album “War Of Being” as an engineer.
My role was to work alongside Peter Miles (producer/engineer) to help him achieve ultimate brutality in what can only be described as a truly dazzling and monstrous album.
It goes without saying that the members of TesseracT are true masters of there craft, being around musicians with such focus and commitment to precision was extremely inspiring.
The album has been out since September and the band have just finished their world headline tour.
I would definitely recommend a listen if you fancy getting your head blown off by some thoroughbred Djent.
Peace + Love
I’m going to try and start posting about wicked stuff in my life abit more….. this comes to mind.
Back in 2020 I had the privilege of helping make @hauntthewoods latest record Ubiquity alongside @peterproducer at @middlefarmstudios
This record took a few weeks to complete and we did it in 3 chunks if I remember correctly. I’ll never forget tracking acoustics together for the album title track all sat in the live room. Over this time I became super close with the band and eventually went on to join them on a headline tour as there 3rd guitarist.
@peterproducer has done an impeccable job on this album that is out now for all to hear. @hauntthewoods are also starting there UK Tour Today!!!!!
Go get some tickets and check these legends out they don’t disappoint
Love and Light to All

Hello dear people!
A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of venturing to Milan in Italy to guitar tech and play tambourine for Kula Shaker.
The venue was incredible…. A beautiful old opera house, the acoustics were stunning!
Obviously I had to sample the fruits of the region, pasta, wine, it’s a hard life….
Such an incredible country, definitely going back for a longer stint, the vibes were truly on point.
Peace

Hello dear friends and family! Little appreciation post here, pretty long overdue ( I suck at instagram). Back in January I was asked to go to Chile with the one and only Kula Shaker as there backline manager / guitar tech. We did 2 wicked shows, obviously both completely rammed, all of the vibes.
Once the band flew home I proceeded to go on my own little adventure! I got a bus to the coast, stayed in a surf hostel, surfed everyday for 10 days and gorged myself on the some dangerously reasonably priced fish burritos. Thank you Kula Shaker, Chile was rad. Peace xx
First night in Tokyo with Kula Shaker. What a place! Day off tomorrow to do some exploring, then 3 shows back to back Starting in Tokyo, then Oskaka, then Nagoya. Get the sushi in!!!
Today I start a tour with Kula Shaker as there backline manager/ guitar tech. First stop Edinburgh, what a beautiful city, first time here. So far I’ve been to Spain, Italy, and Chile with these guys and it’s been incredible, what a life!!! Looking forward to making some noise in the UK over the next 3 weeks. Will try to keep you updated. Big love to all, Peace xxx

Just got this stunning Fender Precision Bass, I can't get enough of it!!! Really getting some sweet drums sounds in the studio too.
Here's a little something that I wrote this eve.
I'm so grateful to be able to make music where I live, I don't know what I'd do without my beautful studio.
Love to all,
