About Terry Finch

I took guitar lessons with Alan Pinches at the late age of 24. I had been playing guitar for a while but decided I needed to learn to play properly and learn theory. I was a porter in a psychiatric hospital at the time and as the job was mostly hanging around I spent my time practising. I was in an originals band which lasted about three years, my tutor encouraged me to join covers bands and start making a living from music. I took his advice and joined an Elvis tribute band, then a light jazz band, then did some summer seasons on holiday camps, then played in a travelling circus orchestra in Denmark for three seasons, then I was offered a place in the band on a cruise ship, which payed for me to travel the world. I have done just about every type of gig imaginable, in many countries around the world in many styles. Although I am playing in lots of cover and tribute bands at the moment, my passion is writing and performing my own material, I do this for the love although it would a dream come true if I could gather a small following and play in live music venues.
