"For many years, I spent my days working as a full-time musician and singer songwriter. Music is in my soul and always will be. However, little did I know back then that a time would come when I would fall in love with the art of guitar making!
In 2011, I travelled to southern Spain to attend a course at the European Institute of Guitar Making in La Herradura, Granada under the tuition of Master Luthier Stephen Hill and his highly skilled co-tutor Pablo Requena. This experience changed my life because I discovered an insatiable passion for building guitars. Stephen recognised that glint in my eye and promptly took me on as his apprentice guitar maker, and for four brilliant years I learnt this special craft in Spain. Now, I'm a full-time professional luthier in my own right, based in beautiful Voguebeloth, West Cornwall, lovingly constructing my own fine flamenco and classical guitars in the Granada style of guitar making."
