Pat Martino Masterclass in association with the ICMP
After being involved in the early rock scene in Philadelphia, alongside stars like Bobby Rydell, Chubby Checker and Bobby Darin, Pat Martino made his mark bringing jazz into psychedelia. With a distinctive, fat sound and gut-wrenching performances, he represents the best not just in jazz, but in music, embodying thoughtful energy and soul.
I will be playing at this fantastic advent featuring one of the all time greats of jazz guitar.

19th November 2008 Larry Carlton Guitar Masterclass in association with Gibson Guitars and the ICMP.
I had the pleasure of performing with Justin Sandercoe, Dario Cortese and Dave Marks on behalf of the ICMP in the first half of this Guitar Masterclass and I also had the privilege of joining guitar legend, Larry Carlton during the second half. Larry displayed exquisite technical and dynamic control on the guitar to produce beautiful and emotive music. A true legend.
Larry talked about his past experiences that have shaped him as a player and gave sage advice to an enthusiastic crowd. |

Feb 2006 The Drifters Record a NEW DVD
The Drifters have teamed up with Classic Pictures to record a live DVD at Shepperton Studios with special guest Gary Brooker from Procol Harlem. It got off to a bad start as my van broke down on the way to the studio... Great timing! Our fantastic sound crew from All Systems Audio came to the rescue and ferried me and my drums to the studio with time to spare. Nice one guys!
The filming was shot over two days with an invited studio audience brought in for the second day’s evening performance. It was a tough couple of days and everybody worked extremely hard. The band sounded great as always and we now look forward to the release of the DVD this summer.
