Fretted Stringed Instruments & keys

I've played since the age of 9, achieved grade 8 on Guitar at 15 years old and have a Degree in Music.

I play professionally in a corporate and events band called Nightporters, as an agency musician, pit musician and have worked on numerous projects with local charities in the community. 


I've played and studied music long enough that there shouldn't be an 8 year old child who is far better than I can ever hope to be.

And yet, Youtube and other social media reminds me that we aren't all created equal.


However, I can play well, and I do it professionally. I have a passion for showing others how to play, write, practice, perform and study music too.

A harmonious blend of exceptional craftsmanship and stunning aesthetics. Offering a choice between highly figured exotic quilted ash or striking pacific walnut tops, complemented by maple back and sides.

Professionally hand brushed in six exclusive Tanglewood colours – Foxglove Purple, Shoreline Amber, Serenity Blue, Aurora Green, Harbour Grey, and Shimmer Red – each instrument boasts a luxurious gloss finish that enhances the richness of its hues.


Beyond their captivating appearance, Azure guitars are built for performance and durability. Featuring a reinforced diamond neck volute as standard, these instruments ensure stability and reliability for professional musicians. Additionally, a subtle hand-inlaid wave motif on the 12th fret adds a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to each guitar in the series.
