   About Agent Ling
Hi there! Thanks for visiting my Myspace page. Here's a little bit about me. My main interest is playing live. My ultimate dream would be playing guitar for the next big girl band at The O2 Arena.

I have played more shows than I can remember around the UK in a variety of styles from rock/pop to jazz and acoustic too. I had the fortune of going on tour across Europe and USA with Icelandic pop singer/songwriter Hafdis Huld, the high point being Paolo Nutini's support band for his UK and French dates. I am well trained when it comes to delivering the goods when it matters - the tours with Hafdis have seen us play great shows with little sleep and little food. I have also played onstage with Hamish Stuart of the Average White Band during his masterclass at The Guitar Institute.

I have done radio and TV sessions, including BBC 6 Music in Manchester, TV3 Espana and a slot on one of the main prime-time TV channels in Iceland.

I am currently working in a band with world-renowned drummer Pick Withers (Dire Straits).

I play electric and acoustic guitar, and have 14 years bass playing experience too. I have been known to do the occasional gig on drums but that would have to come in 3rd place. Guitar is definitely my main instrument.

Aside from playing experience, I have a BMus degree in Pop Music Performance from The Guitar Institute (2006). I now teach guitar and general music on a BTec National Diploma (Academy of Music & Sound, Swindon College) and peripatetically in two schools in London.

* * * THE MUSIC * * *

I like to write music. Period! I'm really into all types of popular music and am always seeking other producers to work with. I'm no good at writing lyrics, but I know a good hook when I hear one.

I worked with Experimentality on his Bread In Bradford release and also his hip-hop-cum-funk band Freyed Knot in the rehearsal room. The tracks I have uploaded here should give you a taster of what floats my boat musically, so if you are a producer who would like to swap some ideas or a management team looking for songwriters, or a lyricist interested in putting some words to my tracks, get in touch. I'm quite friendly!

* * * CURRENT BANDS * * *

Some places I have played guitar (besides UK):

France Spain Belgium Greece Sweden
Iceland Holland USA Denmark Germany
Swiss Flag

I am currently working with groovy-detuned-riff-mongers Killed By Mime (based in Twickenham) - we have a tight AS bass player, a tight AS new singer, Jack has always been tight AS and I'm just a tight ass. NEW SONGS, new gear (8 STRING, WHAMMY!) and a kick-ASS vibe going on. Details of live shows listed above.

www.myspace.com/killedbymime

I have also recently started working with an amazing singer Hashell, she writes really catchy pop-rock tunes (think Pink, Avril, Kelly Clarkson but taking only the coolest bits of them all...) we have just got the full band together and will be doing a few warm up shows in London before our important gig at the 229 club in Great Portland Street on FRIDAY 24TH JULY 2009. Details of other live shows listed above.

www.myspace.com/hashell

You may also see me gracing the stage with a cool, lower dynamic blues outfit lead by bassist of The Blues Band, Gary Fletcher. We have been uphill and down-dale playing in various places around the UK, most notably The Great British R&B Festival in Colne, Butlins' Blues Matters! weekend and the Tawe Delta Blues Club in Swansea. More dates are being added all the time so check back regularly for more info.

www.garyfletchermusic.co.uk

I am also currently playing guitar for Hafdis Huld, the freshest thing to come out of Iceland since their vodka...(!)

www.myspace.com/hafdishuld

After joining forces for performance projects and showcase studies assignments I am writing and producing with Rachel Button. The sound is very folk-pop inspired and has a really cool chilled vibe and features live strings. We are in the process of recording existing tracks and writing new ones. I'll keep you posted!

besides the long-running South Yorkshire based Frank Sinatra Tribute Band.

* * * GUITAR TUITION * * *

I recently graduated with a degree in Popular Music Performance at the London College of Music & Media (Guitar Institute) and am currently teaching students in London, Swindon, High Wycombe and Sheffield.

In London I teach privately at home in Greenford - a short walk from Greenford Red Lion on the E1, E2, E3, E6, E7, E9, E10, E11, 95, 105 and 282 bus routes, also 5 mins by bus from Greenford tube station on the Central Line and Greenford National Rail Station - (use 105 bus from both).

In Swindon, I teach privately in Swindon College (North Star Campus - 5 minutes walk from Swindon Station) as part of the Academy Of Music & Sound group of music schools. I am currently teaching on Mondays and Tuesdays and will be available for lessons throughout the summer holiday period.

If you are interested in having guitar lessons with me, please send me a message with details of what style you would like to learn and how long you've been playing etc.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Feel free to have a look at some of my videos on YouTube .
