Hi all, I am a Scotsman living in Greece. I am 47 years old and have been playing bass (mostly classical) since I was 14. My first payed gig was in a trad jazz band at the tender age of 16, in an over 21s bar where I had to wear a false moustache and an overcoat to pass the age limit.
I went to the Royal Academy of Music in London and studied with Robin McGee. I have played professionally, predominantly in chamber orchestras
for most of my career.
Recently I turned to composing full time as a trade but 4 years have passed and I miss the playing so now I'm getting back into the bass in a big way. lots of practice and out with the Simandl, Hrabe and Bille studies! I;m also trying to work up a solo repertoire so you'll find me lurking around the sheet music section and the orchestral technique threads. I can give advice on orchestral playing and on some solo works if they are in my rep. I also enjoy chatting about the bass, exchanging 'stories from the back desk' and general music chat.
I reckon I'll be quite an active participant here since, from what I have seen already, there is a lot going on and something for everybody!
Nice Forum and nice to be here
