John's Musical Background....
John's Bands....
Drums
I started learning drums at school under the tutelage of Bob Watkins, a very respected local drummer with lots of recording experience to his name. I then began playing in my first band in 1978 at school and over the years have played in dozens of bands, most recently Flash Harry, Lost 11 and Jeliphish.
I have played the Glastonbury festival, the BBC's Late & Live show and have had my drumming used for the theme music to the Dave Barret show on Radio Bristol.
My drum kit is Ludwig and my cymbals are Paiste. I have taught on a one to one basis and as part of a collective workshop. Tuition can be at my house or the pupils.
Classical Guitar
I have been playing guitar since 1980 and studied formally at the Spanish Guitar Centre. I regularly perfom at private functions either solo or as one of a Brazilian guitar duo and derive great pleasure from the emotions this amazing instrument evokes.
I have attained formal guitar certification through to grade 7. The teaching experience can be enhanced for children by bringing in a fun element, playing their favourite songs, nursery rhymes, comedy songs, but the emphasis is still on learning.
I have played in numerous bands over the years and have covered most genres!
Today I perform regularly with the 3 bands listed below. Check them out (my Gig list is on the right), see me perform - maybe even buy the CD! Hopefully you will be inspired enough to want to learn to play yourself.
