Hi, my name's Simon and I'm based in London, UK.
I first started in music aged 13, when I had a couple of years of play-by-ear lessons on arranger keyboards. I played them on and off for a while, got out of it for a bit, and have come back into it over the last few years (I'm 29 now). I still own and use a PSR-series keyboard for solo gigs occasionally, but I prefer to play a "real" instrument given the choice (I have a Yamaha S90 ES and a Waldorf Blofeld keyboard).
I'm currently trying to teach myself blues piano, jazz chords and sight-reading - not all at the same time
I came across this forum a few weeks ago, and it looks like a fantastic resource with some hugely knowledgeable and experienced people. I get the feeling I'm going to be doing a lot more reading than posting, but I just wanted to say hi anyway
