Musical styles and repertoire.

Tony has a vast repertoire. Called on to accompany virtually anyone he can improvise something if he doesn’t have a ‘stock’ arrangement that he can call on. This leads to his being one of the best musicians of the type in the Midlands.

Collaboration

The search for new and exciting sounds has led to collaboration with artists from all over England and recently with a talented singer named Rebecca Menear. Known as ‘Beks’ Rebecca has a fine voice and although a recent convert to traditional style music has seriously impressed audiences over the last season.
