I am a local musician based in Broome (near Birmingham in the West Midlands). A dynamic, skilled and experienced singer and guitarist.
I have my own PA equipment, and I play a wide range of pop songs as the main set- and mix in rootsy fascinating funk, and rock and roll from the 60s to the present day.
As well as solo gigs I play with a trio. We are a funk, fusion jazz blues band from Worcestershire. We often play with a saxophonist to bring our band to a four-piece, playing an electrifying and soulful mixture of songs.

It was amazing to play Birmingham NEC, a huge audience for a corporate event.
I've been profoundly influenced by blues and jazz musicians such as Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robben Ford, BB King, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and John Coltrane. However, my ultimate favorite artist is Jimi Hendrix. His exceptional songwriting and guitar playing have had a lasting impact on my musical taste and inspiration. As for the greatest song of all time, it's a tough choice, but Hendrix's version of "All along the watchtower" holds a special place for me.
Having delved into the vibrant world of gigging at the tender age of 16, Capricorn has amassed an impressive 29 years of experience.

Capricorn has performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and festivals across the UK since then.
