Activities
As a working musician, I understand completely the needs of both students and professionals. With my involvement in a number of Nelson’s leading jazz groups, The Gabor Trio and the Steve Flemming Band as bassist / vocalist, and fronting Nelson's professional live function group, WIZARD "The Classic Hits band" easily Nelson’s best live gig band, life is hectic. I still find the time to foster growth within the musical fraternity by spending time with younger musicians and students.
I am a past resident tutor of bass guitar to the contemporary students at The Nelson School of Music.
Here in Nelson, music and the arts is a growing interest, and I love being part of it. I am a committee member of the Nelson Jazz Club resposnsible for memberships and assisting in organising gigs and special events such as jazz festivals and community projects. The annual Woollaston Nelson Jazzfest is fast becoming one of NZ's premier events held in early January each year.
