Rob - Ryhthm & Vocals

Having played guitar since high school, and as 5 years in Black Pearl (as we know it) had come to an end, I was keen to find another band project to focus on. The timing couldn't have been better when Jakey approached me as a possible 2nd guitarist with The Monkey.

I am excited and thrilled to be learning shed loads of new songs, and adding to the eclectic mix that Smokin' Monkey brings to every gig.

I hope to bring some dirty rhythm, a bit of clean and the occasional solo for good measure to compliment the rest of the Monkey flair….It's great to be part of the Monkey family.
….It's a Monkey Adventure ……
