Many of the above bands recorded demos and attained great reviews, Monster in fact reached dizzy heights when they performed live on radio one on the Tommy Vance Rock show along side L7, Mr Big and The Quireboys. They were also included on the “Rock the Canary” CD which was distributed throughout the UK.

Ron later took his musical talents in other directions and studied towards grade 8’s in electric guitar and bass and then proceeded to take both examinations on the same day. The Rock School Board were so impressed that the offered him a job examining for them which he did for two years.

A degree was the next on the agenda and Ron read classical music at the UEA, graduating in ’00 with a very high 2:1. He was then accepted at Cambridge University for a Music PGCE which he passed with flying colours, having since been invited back several times to teach improvisation to music graduates.

Ron currently teaches Music Technology at Paston Sixth Form College but has taught guitar and bass guitar for the last 12 years. He has worked in studios as a session player on both guitar and bass and this has also been a great source of contacts in the music business. Ron is a keen composer and is currently working with Musicbank , a successful distribution company on various projects including chill-out/ambient music. He is also a member of the Musician’s Union and the Performing Rights Society.

In the future Ron wants to do more recording work whether it involves session work or composing music for film soundtracks and television. Ron also aims to continue to improve his musical skills and aspires to become better known as a leading guitarist. His playing styles have been likened to many of the greats including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Robben Ford all of which are of great inspiration to Ron.
