Singers, guitarists and sax players of the world.... get taught and take over...

Hello ED forum chums... its time to dust off those old christmas presents.. and restart the music dream....



I have played and taught professionally for over twenty years: working with many well known artists and teaching at many schools and colleges in London and kent. I have also released my own albums and singles. I am interested in teaching through fun achievable goals and intend to have you playing something recognisable by the end of the first lesson!


I now have lots of lovely SE students and am also running a choir on tuesday evenings at goose green school... should anyone fancy...


I am happy to sit down with you and work out what sort of music you would like to play, sing, write or all three and then work out a simple plan for how to achieve that goal - including how to use the internet to find chords and tab and tuition videos that complement what i am showing you. In most cases I can get a student into a self sustaining learning curve within 8 lessons.



I teach saxophone, guitar, singing and songwriting, to anyone - from adult and child beginners through to people who are already musically literate.


20 pounds for 40 minutes and 27 pounds for an hour - with concessions for small groups, unemployed and younger children. Please get in touch if you are interested.


Half price first lesson to anyone who can tell me the band I paraphrased in my title.

Hi. Quick update.. Have started teaching a number of folks from this forum, and I must say what a fine and talented bunch you are.. I have a double header schoolboy beginners guitar lesson in about 3 hours - about three houses away from mine, and Monday was privileged to bandy saxophones with the very impressive - up to now - guitar legend, John, who not only got a note out of his sax first time - but was managing to play a scale within about 15 mins - as I say, impressive - he can also drop an aeroplane into a tail spin if anyone fancies..

Hi - I just stumbled across this and was wondering if you're still offering lessons and, if so, what your availability is. My son loves the guitar but hates learning it formally. Would you be able to adapt to some kid of jamming session that would help him progress? Thanks.

Hi Debi, Jamming is great for learning - obviously after a while we would need to input some language and look at the players he likes - but sounds like he is already some way down the road, and would be fun to work with..

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.

    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.
