I'm a double bass player based in Dundee, and working across Britain and Europe. Current projects include the Johnny Hunter Quartet, Moonmot (with whom I will shortly be touring in India), New String Collective, Scuba, and Sloth Racket, as well as lots of casual engagements.  I also run a near-weekly free improvisation session in Dundee, called Open Saturdays, where I play for one hour, and invite anybody to listen or sit in.

I'm interested in improvisation, both inside and outside the jazz tradition, and my inspiration above all is my love for situations in which everyone involved, musicians and audience, have an equal input into the creation of the music. I also just love playing the bass, and taking on the many different roles of a bass player, be that supportive, reflective, dynamic, static, compositional or disruptive.

I've loved getting this music together, and can't wait to realise it and perform it with Helena and Kjetil in the place it was written for. My studio looks out over the Tay estuary and out towards the North Sea - I'm really looking forward to taking this music to the West, looking towards Ireland and the Atlantic. Simultaneously similar and very different places.
