Work you can commission
Music written and produced to a brief, and live performance from solo through to full band. The teaching lives behind the Learn door.
One practice, two ways to hire it
Two ways of commissioning the same practice: music made to a brief, and music played in a room. Both come from the same person, which is why a score arrives knowing how it will feel to play and a set arrives knowing how it was written.
Commission a record and you get someone who has spent years explaining music to rooms of people, which turns out to be excellent training for understanding a brief. Book a performance and you get the composer, not an interpreter of someone else's chart.

Every engagement
What every engagement includes
Whichever service you book, these do not change.
A real conversation first
Before any quote, a conversation about what you actually need, including an honest no, and a pointer elsewhere, when this is not the right fit.
Everything in writing
Scope, dates, deliverables, fee and rights confirmed in a written proposal before work starts. No verbal understandings.
A reply within two working days
From a person, not an autoresponder, including when the answer is that we are not available.
One point of contact
The person you speak to at enquiry is the person who does the work. Nothing is handed to an account manager.
