Background
-
Like many players, as a teenager
Hugh started out as self taught in the blues/rock style and comfortable
with a loose and semi-improvisatory style of playing. Once he decided
on a career as a serious session musician he quickly realised that to
be successful in this area he would need more formal skills. He rapidly
became a fluent sight reader, writer and transcriber of music and embarked
on a serious study of music both in practice and in theory that continues
to this day. His early studies of plectrum style were with Ron Moore
and he later studied composition with Oliver Hunt.
Here's a sample
of the projects Hugh has been involved in -
