She was a founder member of Rock\/Roots band Elephant Shelf and also the Delta Ladies. I compose in a variety of styles from pop to rock to Jazz and and classical music I am also well versed in multi-media recording and music production.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have been playing various instruments since I was about 15. I started on Harmonica, because it looked easy and it was cheap. I didn&#8217;t get on that well with it though. I had always enjoyed the Piano but where I was living it was not possible for the family to have one frustratingly. We tried to get my Grandmas old piano, but sadly we lived in an upstairs flat and could not get it in. I made do with something called a reed organ, which was a bit like a harmonium with an electric blower. I did learn some basic things on it though. I also had a guitar which I made serious efforts with too. One instrument I had always really liked was the Violin and I started playing that too. It was very difficult to start with and I gave up for a year or so, but for some reason I thought I would have another go at it and started again.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a few years and I had been messing about with second hand tape machines and making recordings by bouncing sound from one tape recorder to another. I had a fairly stable job and at that point the Mk1 Teac Portastudio first appeared. Well I had to have one. By this time I had started to build up an interesting collection of Instruments keyboards guitars and so forth. I had rarely played live though. I was a bit of a techie and when I discovered you could create something called an mp3 file and put it on your website, there was no holding me back. I have a lot of music on the web. Everything from completed tracks to demos. The material spans roughly from about 1995 till the present.It covers a lot of musical genres as I have always been diverse in my musical tastes. I am still exploring musically and trying to learn something new along the way. Time passed and having assumed that I would not be doing anything much live ever, in 2004 I was invited to join a band. I have carried on with my personal musical out pourings till now, but have also played around 2200 odd gigs as well. Thats something I never thought would happen. Its funny how life takes you in different directions than you expect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 225px; height: 120px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; background-image:
