CURRENT PROJECTS
When I'm not writing the blog...
​
REMBRANDT R.E.M. TRIBUTE
That's us in the corner.
REMbrandt are a 100% live, R.E.M. tribute band based in the South of England, playing theatres, clubs, venues and festivals. REMbrandt play the best singles and album tracks from R.E.M.'s 31 year, 15 studio album career, including such hits as 'Losing My Religion', 'Man On The Moon', 'The One I Love', 'Everybody Hurts', 'Shiny Happy People' and 'What's The Frequency, Kenneth?'. R.E.M. achieved 31 UK Top 40 singles and over 85 million sales worldwide, with classic albums such as 'Out Of Time' and 'Automatic For The People'.
ALABAMA STILLS
We are family, I got... etc.
THE ALABAMA STILLS are two brothers and one uncle from the deepest, darkest depths of Hampshire playing an eclectic mix of country-inspired rock and Americana.
Featuring two vocalists, the band performs a varied selection of both classic and unusual arrangements of their favourite songs.
JNA ACOUSTIC DUO
Fewer brothers
JNA are an acoustic guitar and vocal duo that initially formed as an offshoot of the country rock inspired covers band, The Alabama Stills. It soon became clear though that this project, containing members of two of the south coast’s longest standing acoustic acts, would have a life and personality of it’s own. The duo effortlessly mix Americana with classic British artists to create an upbeat, potent mix of covers.
ORIGINAL PROJECTS
I'm currently building a portfolio of original material with my fellow bandmates for future release, such as "WestingWay", an Americana and Alternative Country music project. I am also currently writing with Kate Harding Country and LYKE.
OTHER PROJECTS
Want to learn or get involved?
COUSTICS GUITAR & UKUELE CLUB
Acoustic music groups for beginners and intermediates.
The Coustics Clubs comprise three monthly jam nights. A pop / rock themes night, a blues / folk evening and a ukulele group. These clubs are open to all and are an excellent way to meet other players, with an emphasis on participation in a relaxed environment.
​
Club nights are held in the Chichester and Bognor Regis area of West Sussex. An events listing can be found on facebook.
OPEN MIC WITH SEDGE AND JON
3 Songs, 15 minutes.
Since 2009, a friend and I have hosted monthly open mic nights in West Sussex and Hampshire.
​
We provide a PA system for visiting musicians to take their turn to entertain at the mic. All styles of performance are welcome, including poetry, comedy, backing tracks and original music. An events listing can be found on facebook.
GUITAR AND UKULELE TUITION
Get stuck in.
I offer private, at home tutoring for anybody looking to learn either the guitar or ukulele.
​
I teach for fun, not examinations, with a focus on getting people playing and getting them engaged with music. I also offer themed workshop sessions for larger groups and remote teaching via Skype.
