Conor has been playing acoustic, classical and electric guitar for over 18 years and has been privileged to have worked with some highly respected teachers and professional musicians. After studying Classical Guitar with Trinity College London and receiving a Diploma in Music and Audio Technology, he has gone on to spread his wings in many areas of the music industry and has delved into a wealth of different styles along the way – varying from flamenco to lap-steel. He now has over four years teaching experience, providing tuition for students of all ages and abilities.
And after ten years in the world of recording – working as both an engineer and producer – Conor has appeared as a session musician on countless singles, EPs and albums for labels and independent artists, covering a wide list of genres, including rock, pop, blues and Rn'B to name a few. He has also worked with well-known producers and artists from Ireland and the US.
Performance wise, much of his own repertoire has concentrated on blues, classical, world and folk – combining different variations in tuning methods – as well as blues, alternative and rock styles in electric, but he has also made appearances with a diverse range of acts from the UK, US and Ireland. Conor's education and hands-on experience has helped him transfer over to other instruments, such as piano and mandolin, but he can also be heard playing accordion, violin, drums and percussion on various albums and EPs.
Currently, Conor is performing as a solo artist and with other groups across London, teaching students in acoustic, classical and electric guitar and, as always, throwing his hand to a few recordings in between.
