Hello
I'm Rob. I play guitar, compose music and write novels. Welcome to my website.
My Band
In 2020 I plan (or at least, had planned, before the world went into lockdown) to start gigging again, as guitarist with a new band--Stripe--which will play a rock/rock-blues tribute to my guitar heroes Gary Moore, (Dr) Brian May of Queen and more.
