The Performer
I perform as The Boy With The Greyhound Tattoo.
I take a vocal microphone and some musical instruments, plug them all into a looper pedal and crank out an eclectic mix of my own songs and interesting cover versions. I play electric guitar, acoustic guitar, ukulele, bass guitar, synthesizer, piano and shake a few rattling things in the name of percussion. My style mixes 80’s/90’s indie with a just a sprinkle of electropop, a generous dash of classical orchestration and a dusting of 20th Century Minimalism.
I’m involved in some other musical projects too including Fake Plastic Tigers & The Silly Creatures. I occasionally teach, have a blog and regularly write for UKE Magazine.
In previous musical lives I played bass with the flippin’ fabulous Twin Hazey, wrote a lot of reviews and sang a few backing vocals for Suggs.

The Composer
I compose under my given name.
My passion is to meld classical orchestration and Minimalism with contemporary sounds that speak to a modern audience. I focus on writing library and sync music but I am always open to discussing new projects so please get in touch and say hi.
Previous triumphs include one of my songs being released by a Spanish band and session involvement in advertising projects for Ford and some form of cheese. Academically, I fluffed my way through my undergrad music degree in the 90’s and proudly smashed my song-writing Master’s degree in 2022.
