Solihull, England in 1997.
A qualified restorer of pianos, he graduated from Newark and Sherwood
College in 1996 and now specialises in the restoration of

Oliver Cromwell International Jazz Festival
Bude International Jazz Festival
Keswick International Jazz Festival
Swanage Jazz Festival
Aberystwth Jazz Festival
Hexham Jazz Festival
Sudbury Real Ale and Jazz Festival

He is happy to give demonstrations of the Pianola, combined with an
entertaining potted history of the instrument and its music. His collection
of piano rolls varies from Art Tatum to Wagner.
