Hello Breakfast Room members!
My name's Richard (or Rich - take your pick). I live in Kent and have been playing sax for getting on for 20 years... Despite the amount of time I've been playing I guess, at best I'd describe myself as an intermediate level player. I've had the luck and pleasure of playing with some really good guys in the past so I couldn't say anything else!
I get a huge amount of enjoyment from playing and crave the time to practice more so that I can improve. (keep thinking to myself, 'if only I practiced more when I started out...before life got in the way!).
I've always been a big jazz fan but for the last 4 years I've been playing in a 6 piece R&B/rock/coversish band called 'Road Dog Jackson'. We play a wide range of different styles: from madness covers, to reggae, ian dury...some jazz (of a fashion). We're quite busy with gigs either in pubs or parties, weddings, charity dos etc. We're mainly based around surrey but tend to go anywhere in the south east of the opportunity is there. It's great fun!
Only recently discovered Pete's site and the forum - both of which look fantastic. Very much looking forward to participating in the forum.

My Dad's from Kent and that's what he always asks people who say they are from there! I vaguely remember it's something to do with which side of a river you are on....
