Repertoire
‘I am a versatile player who can competently match the ‘feel’ and perform a variety of techniques and playing styles to suit a particular song. I love listening and playing to all types of music! Which has caused me to have an expansive musical palette and catalogue of suitable tones. The bass guitar is my main instrument but I can also play synth bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and backing vocals. Through my years of playing, I have also had experience working with large bands that require sight-reading music notation, as well as performing alongside many up and coming artists.’
Howard Head, MSc – Freelance Bass Player

"Howard came into my project as a last minute dep. I was so impressed by his talent, clean playing, and ability to learn a 45 minute set of songs he'd never heard in 3 days, I asked him to stay. He's a pleasure to work with, great physical performance on stage, and a brilliant technical bass player"

"Howard has been fantastic to work with so far, always coming to rehearsals well prepared, rehearsed and often with charts (when needed). Creatively he's also been a great help, always coming up with interesting parts that mesh brilliantly with the rest of a song."
John GallenSound Engineer (Queen, Motorhead, Simply Red)
“I have recorded Howard on numerous occasions. He is an accomplished and talented musician with the ability to interpret many styles and genres. I have had 40 years of experience working with some of the UK's finest session musicians and would have no problem recommending Howard.”

"Her [Annabel Maria] live band consisting of four talented musicians were excellent and the musical arrangements perfectly complemented the vocals. Definitely one to watch out for."

Howard attended the Royal Hospital School while growing up in the picturesque, green landscapes of Suffolk, where he discovered his love for music. After exploring with instruments like the french horn in orchestras and playing the bass drum in a marching band, he fell in love with the bass guitar.
He made the decision to improve his playing after school, so he enrolled in Guildford’s Academy of Contemporary Music for higher education. Here, he learned how to improve his musicianship from renowned musicians and teachers like Brian Henry (Soul II Soul, Shola Ama, Incognito), Sandy Beales (One Direction, Wheatus, Loick Essien), Arron McSporran (Virvum, Mark Letteri), Kevin Glasgow (Tommy Smith, Tim Garland), and many others.
Since then, Howard has been gigging extensively as a freelance bass player with up and coming artists, and dabbling in teaching where he decided to write five tuition books to help aspiring musicians!
