Join me on my journey through the incredible world of music and sound,
I’m writing and recording music, and studying at the superb School of Audio Production at the University of Salford. You’ll read all about it here.
Some of the instruments and studio equipment I use have interesting stories, I’ll share them with you.

I’ll be delighted if you’ll accompany me on my adventures in music and audio. Please remember to contact me if you wish, links are at the bottom of the page.
Thanks!
