Mark
Driscoll Mark began playing guitar in 1988 and formed his first band with friends 2 years later. He ran this band for the next 10 years through various name and line up changes playing, rock, blues, rock and roll, 60’s soul and reggae covers. The band gigged regularly in the London and Kent area, often playing 2 to 3 times a week. This helped him to develop as a versatile guitarist, as he provided both the lead and rhythm back bone of the band. During this period he also branched out into original projects, as a guitarist in a pop band and as a bass player in a rock band, which played in various London venues including The Rock Garden. From 1996-2000 he also played main guitar in a duo playing a wide range of material and gigging throughout London, Essex and Kent. On top of this Mark has often taught guitar and in early 2006 he decided to start teaching more seriously. He now teaches regular lessons from home and also travels to some students. |

During this period he developed into a lead vocalist. After this he played in two different duo’s, as well as playing for dance shows and pantomimes as a “pit” guitarist until forming another band in 1998 with a female vocalist.
