I play a variety of instruments but my core love is the bass guitar. I was originally inspired to play after watching Iron Maiden’s Live after Death video.
As a bass player, finding the right strings can make all the difference in your sound and playing experience. After trying out several different brands and gauges, I have to say that the Ernie Ball 5-String Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings have become my go-to choice.
Kicking Mary are a great local Hamilton band whom play a variety of rock favourites. They called me up to fill in so I decided to take my GoPro with me to see how the night went afterwards.
Recently there was a request to perform more acoustic, less rock edge sound at our regular gig. So we’re starting our gigs with acoustic guitar, the boys swap instruments and I pay double bass.

Jamming Something Funky with Emilio and Reece at Keystone on Friday 30 October 2020. A few people out in Halloween garb, society is super weary of Covid but we are hopeful things are settling, lucky we are in NZ.
Well, Friday 25th of September was our first gig together in over a month. A Covid-19 outbreak occurred in Auckland as a region and the rest of New Zealand went into level 2 lockdown which meant no groups greater than 100 could engage.
Enjoying playing gigs again. Here’s the first hour of the gig at Keystone Bar and Restaurant here in Hamilton on 31 July. Still trying to find a decent camera angle.
Friday night in Hamilton and things getting somewhat back to normal after covid rāhui (lockdown). Here’s Emilio, Reece and I just starting our first set with ‘Catching Feelings’ by Six60.
