Probably my most significant hobby to date. My Judo career since 1994 consists of player, coach, team captain and it doesn't show signs of stopping. For more information click here.
Primarily my interest lies in Jazz Piano, having taken interest from the greats such as Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and of course my teacher the legendary Keith Monk. I have performed in many concerts and bands including the Luis Riley Big Band and the supporting band for the University of Bristol Hiatt Baker Ball Musical 2004.
