CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore Europe, meet interesting people, see the sights and see a whole lot of live music!

ABOUT ME

Hey there, I'm Gareth. I'm a professional musician from Perth, Western Australia. Having studied for 5 years and having played throughout Australia, I've decided it's time to take my chances and move to London. However, before I do that I will be spending 2-3 months traveling throughout Europe.

I'm an honest and amicable guy. I am very keen to meet new and interesting people and to experience different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep learning, challenge yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Snakebite" - this was a Whitesnake tribute night I promoted, MD'd and played bass for before I left Perth. The vibe was amazing and it was quite a surreal experience.

The Liverpool Cathedral - it was incredible to see this building. A small choir was rehearsing with a piano player. It was the first time I had heard such music in a cathedral.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach electric bass, double bass and guitar. I can also teach music theory and appreciation.
