John

I`ve been fortunate enough to have recently been on tour with Ed Sheeran, Paolo Nutini, Jamie Lawson, Kubb and Will and the People (among others). I`ve recorded keyboards on many albums including the recent Divide (Ed Sheeran), Caustic Love (Paolo Nutini) and Jamie Lawson`s debut record and have had the amazing experience of headlining the Other Stage at Glastonbury, performed the Radio 1 Live Lounge several times, tinkled the ivories on Jools Holland, mimed to my best ability on Top of the Pops (hopefully that doesn`t make me too old!) and performed live on many radio shows including Chris Evans Breakfast show and Zane Lowe.

I can teach any style from classical to rock and jazz and am always happy to make the lessons fun, exciting, interesting and rewarding.

Please feel free to drop me a message if interested in having lessons!
