Played most types of music. Many years of session work... some good, some not so good. Love the blues and how it can reach people in ways some music fails to do. Many of the older character players are up there playing now. I bet Gary Moore sounds great on an overdriven harp.
Band/artist history
When I was 11, my dad gave me a beaten up old acoustic and told me to run my fingers up and down the long bit.
Later, was lucky to play with some fantastic musicians. Learned a lot from them.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Lots... Some fantastic, some not fantastic. Played at the roundhouse.
Your musical influences
My dad, Paul Kossof, Peter Green, Early Clapton, Gary Moore and later Steve Vai.
What equipment do you use?
Most of what's been available at the time. Loved my old Marshal stack and my 72 Les Paul.. What a partnership.
Anything else?
