It's been a busy Autumn of gigs, including a UK tour supporting the release of Nicolas Meier's new album "Peaceful". I also had a great time playing at the London Jazz Festival in November. Keep an eye out for more gigs on my social media pages and gigs page! A few pics below from a couple of the concerts.
I'm often getting asked about my violin bow at gigs / online from youtube and instagram. I'm so used to the bow now I forget that it is actually quite different looking to the standard bow.For those interested in it, It's a Carbon Fibre stick with synthetic hair, weighing much less than a traditional wood bow. The company is called 'Incredibow'.
In all honesty, I bought it as a back up and for doing outdoor festival gigs, but after playing with it for a while, I converted to using it all the time. I find it great for getting around the instrument and particularly for playing jazz. I have also never broken a single hair on it in over 3 years which is amazing compared to how many rehairs I used to have to get on my traditional bow!
You can check out the company here www.incredibow.com
I'd highly recommend having a go and at around $100, it's well worth a try!Thanks for reading and if you have any more questions, drop me a message!
It's been a busy few months and I'm very pleased to share a teaser of an upcoming album I have had the pleasure of playing on with the Nicholas Meier World Group. The album 'Peaceful' is to be released in September and we're touring throughout the Autumn.
