Gordons first introduction to the music world and gig life was in his late teen years with Essex covers band Salems Rock, a bunch of ambitious teenagers attempting to play songs they probably shouldn't have! After the very first gig at The Lord Napier, he was immediately hooked. The band developed a following and started to gig in some of the top venues around.
After spending a few years playing on the scene and networking, Gordon started to get offered more work and eventually landed a position in a touring band, travelling all over Europe and headlining on Cruise Ships. Since stepping nto the professional world Gordon has moved on to being a freelance session player, playing for various touring theatre acts, various tribute acts, and various tribute bands and still enjoys depping on the Essex covers scene.
These days, he splits his work load between a function band and theatre pit work, having been the regular guitarist at Greenwich theatres Christmas panto for the last 5 years ( oh yes he has!) as well as various deps that come up and recording sessions. His love for music has never disappeared and he allays loves sharing the stage or studio with other like minded Folk.
