About me:

I was 8 when I was bitten by the music bug. For me, since then, it's been a constant journey of changing styles and challenges. I'm as happy in at the deep end and out of my comfort zone as I am working steadily at a project to the n'th degree.

Both as a guitarist and as a violinist, I’ve been fortunate in meeting and working with many gifted and creative musicians, whose inspiring material has stretched and developed my own ability, providing me with the experience to shape the part to the music's demand.

I’ve included some of the music by bands and projects I’ve worked with, including an excerpt of Nigel Kennedy's performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto at the Royal Albert Hall in 1982, during which I was a member of the Coventry Youth Orchestra - I hope you enjoy –

I'm currently looking out for my next project, but please check out the myspace profile of the Street Shepherd band for more information on what I've been up to recently

    Hey there,

    Here's one from left field...

    Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

    A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

    Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

    Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

    Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

    I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

    Help to raise awareness.

    Say have you checked out my web site recently?

    Take care and keep in touch.

    Best,
    Faber.

    Hi Jools! Nice to meet you on here. Is that a Bridge you're playing in one of the clips? I've got one too - and a couple of others that Paul managed to flog me! And you say you're looking for new projects? May be up for something too! Have just bought one of Bridge's elecro-acoustic cellos. Could do a bit of something together - maybe an obscure bit of recording? Improve - a bit like Peter Knight's Gemini Cadenza sound? Check it out on his website fi you want. Really like your sound. Thanks for finding me. All the best.
