Pubs & Gigs

This is a list of things I’ve written that have been published on paper (or electronically, when the site is choosy about what it publishes and isn’t run by me) and more or less public appearances I’ve done. I’ve lost track of things that happened more then five or six years ago, and I’m not including CD reviews or interviews, which are too numerous to mention here.

I’m happy in principle to come and do any of my talks/events for you if (a) you’re in London and (b) you’ll consider helping with my bus fare. Just email me. The event called Align is a little more elaborate as it’s a two-man multimedia affair — see the Align web page for details. I’m also usually up for doing panel discussions, podcasts etc on topics I know something about; again, ask. I spend most of my time now giving private tuition, on which see here and, for guitarists, here.
