My Story
Hello and welcome to my website. I have been a gigging musician for over 25 years, performing as a keyboard player and backing vocalist, notably as a founder-member of popular Bristol covers band Tundra.
At the end of 2025, when Tundra disbanded, I launched my solo career as Solo Encounter.
I perform in pubs, bars, clubs and for private events in South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Gwent, Wiltshire and the outskirts of Bristol.
I sing and play keyboards and acoustic guitar, accompanied by professional backing tracks supplying bass, drums and a few extra instruments to compliment my playing - this combination ensures my show is a rich musical experience!
