ABOUT ME

I started my musical career when I was just 15 years old entertaining the guests at my mother’s Bed and Breakfast and I’ve been a professional guitar vocalist ever since performing all over Europe in various bands and duos and latterly as a solo artist in hotels and holiday resorts along the Costa del Sol.

When I finally retired from the live music scene a couple of years ago and partly driven by the uncertain times we are living in at the moment I decided to set up My YouTube Channel and continue to share my love of performing from the comfort and safety of my home.

(There’s a couple of examples of my work on the right or underneath this section if you’re on a mobile device)

The popularity and daily growth of my channel totally took me by surprise and the encouraging comments and feedback I received have lead me to expand the channel from just acoustic guitar and country music covers to include personal reviews of some of the guitars, strings and gear I use.

I’m also studying classical and fingerstyle guitar and will be adding videos of my journey into the world of classical and fingerstyle guitar in the very near future!

Living in Spain, the home of the Spanish and Flamenco guitar certainly has its advantages when you’re looking for a good classical guitar 😉

Apart from being the place where I share my acoustic guitar and country music covers with the world, this website was also created to document and share my albeit late journey into the world of the nylon string and classical guitar and help other nylon guitar lovers choose the right guitar or right strings with tips, tricks, reviews and general nylon string guitar news along the way.
