Introducing
Rob Tunbridge
Singer, songwriter and musician
Sharing my love of music, one note at a time!
About
Music is a Passion
I grew up to the sound of music playing throughout the house. Apparently, I could whistle before I could talk and from a very early age I wanted to join the church choir and be a singer.
I taught myself to play the guitar and learnt the basics from a "Bert Weedon" play in a day songbook. Well, it took me more than a day and there are still new things to learn, even after more than 40 years of playing. I can also play keyboards and a variety of other instruments.
Music is unique to everybody
My songwriting draws on all of the music I have loved and has a definite 70's rock leaning, mixed with an 80's synth based sound.
I was once described, by a music critic as "Status Quo meets Depeche Mode with a large dollop of Erasure and Slade thrown in for good measure." I thought this was a pretty good description of what I write.
I hope that others enjoy the songs that I write and that they can see reflections of their own life and experiences in them. As a musician and songwriter I am always looking to improve the music and songs that I create.
Inspired By Everything
I find inspiration all around me. My music is representative of myself, my family and the world around me. I write the kind of songs that I like to listen to and I hope that others like to listen to them also.
My main instruments are a Fender Telecaster guitar, Tanglewood resin backed elctro-acoustic guitar, Ibanez Acoustic Guitar, Yamaha Bass Guitar and a range of soft synths and other computer based instruments.
