Here's us warming up backstage at The @troubadourlondon - similar dorkiness can be expected. Trusty old 90s @martinguitar J40 also featuring. #musician #countrymusic #guitar #acoustic #backstage Had a gig with my little party band @MonkeySelfie last night - so much fun and a very happy crowd, and client #livemusic #weddingprofs #weddingband #guitarist Embracing the monochrome #notblackandwhite #braces #saltandpepper Love playing with this band.

One of Europe's top party bands, a big influence on @MonkeySelfie and many other bands, and most importantly lovely people who care about what they do. #eventsprofs #musician #partyband My @kemperamps sounding great as ever - my profile of a Diamond Marquis germanium treble booster, through my Engl Steve Morse head, via an @neumann.berlin U67.
