SESSIONS
Does your tune needs an Elton Jools piano, heartfelt 70s Hammonds or tacky 80s synths, guitar hero or funky Nile-esque twiddling, or the hypothetical amalgamation of Flea McCartney on bass?
If so, please let me know, send me what you've got and tell me what you need, and I can remotely sprinkle some personalised high-fidelity magic Monks dust for you to do whatever you like with.
I can play what you have in mind, or create a part for you from scratch - I’ll make it just the way you want it, I’ll keep it authentic to your genre and era of choice, and this includes three free revisions if you'd like anything tweaked.
Please get in touch so we can discuss prices and work out arrangements - I have regular access to private studio recording facilities to record parts in high quality,

THINGS ARE CHANGING
I'm currently paving the way to substantially up my session and production work, and have been having super positive chats with a very close friend of mine, at an established and designated space where the freedom of focusing and having guests is at no risk of the fluctuations of doing so at home. It's early days, but promising. Watch this space!
