CURRENT MISSION

To play guitar like Django Reinhardt and violin like Stephane Grappelli

ABOUT ME

I play instruments with strings! I grew up in Belgium, near Waterloo, went to England for 5 years, got a music degree, worked as a music teacher in Bahrain for 3 years, went back to England for a year to become an EFL teacher, and am now living in Madrid learning Spanish and Flamenco.

Music, Movies, and Books

Last month I read How Music Works by David Byrne (Talking Heads guy), A fish caught in time by Samantha Weinberg, about the discovery of the coelacanth fish, and I'm working my way through Jerusalem, a cookery book by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamini.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shambala Festival, near Northampton, England. I hope to go there every year until I die.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love showing people how to play musical instruments, and learning different languages/music styles.
