I'm a bassist/composer/arranger who plays a huge range of styles, although primarily in the fields of jazz, pop and contemporary music.

I have performed numerous amounts of gigs with many different types and styles of performances.

I've recently finished a degree at London College of Music (part of the University of West London) attaining a first class honors studying with bass guitar genious Paul Westwood as well as alumni pianist Eddie Harvey. I'm leading my own group entitled 'Gwarek2'. This has a mix of original compositions and re-arrangements of tunes by the likes of Mouse on Mars and Flying Lotus. The group is largely jazz based, but also has elements of funk, electronica and contemporary music. Videos of us performing can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/simonpatttttttttton

As well as bass guitar, I also play viola and piano. I also compose music in addition to putting on gigs (under the name 'Moby Duck', a night which has an "anything goes" policy) and run a record label 'Kayfabe Friends' which releases CD-R's of various projects I'm involved in as well as stuff by other people that I really like lots.

I am available for function work, teaching, composing, arranging, depping and recording.
While I can mostly only take paid work (message for rates), if there are projects that sound appealing and interesting, I am willing to take part in those as well.
