Jimmy Campbell's Profile

Background:

I have been a professional guitarist/musician for over a decade working in the UK and Asia. My first job as a guitarist was as a member of the entertainment department at the Alnwick Gardens. Since then I have taught private lessons and in school, been part of pit orchestras for theatre production, organised/hosted live music events, busked, worked as a music therapist for autistic children, as a session musician, hosted a show on Lionheart Radio, toured all over South East Asia and I was part of the house band for an internationally award winning taproom called 7 Bridges Brewing Company. I teach all ages, abilities and genres/styles but I specialise in fingerstyle guitar. I am very versatile though and have played guitar and often also sang in African high life ensembles, blues, rock, reggae and ska bands, a gypsy jazz quartet, as a duo with a classical pianist and flamenco guitarist and as a solo artist with a loop pedal.
