She has recorded five albums with her own group and played festivals from Mexico to Warsaw. She has played with Tal Farlow, toured with Jamaican composer Marjorie Whylie, founded Blow the Fuse with Alison Rayner and presented on BBC Radio 3. She also presented BBC TV’s groundbreaking series Rockschool, has written seven books on guitar playing, was head of guitar syllabus for the Rockschool exam series and won the public vote for Guitar in the 2019 British Jazz Awards.
