Terry Bickers: recording artist, performing musician & music teacher

“In these strange times I feel that creative endeavours can help us to strengthen our connections and maintain balance in our lives. I am excited by the prospect of working with other artists, producers and students in 2021 and beyond.”

Musical career

Inspired by guitarists who used sound effects, Terry began with Indie band Colenso Parade in the mid-80s and developed his craft with The House Of Love and Levitation, winning much critical acclaim for recordings and live performances. Terry’s most recent musical collaboration was with Pete Fij, formerly of ex-Creation records act Adorable, releasing two well received crowdfunded albums.

Sessions & production

Terry is an experienced session musician and is available for work in this area. He has co-produced several albums and EPs for other artists and will consider offers of production work. Generally sessions are done in person but proxy sessions can also be arranged.

Teaching

Terry has been teaching music since 2001 both privately and in further education. Drawing on many years of experience he now coaches musicians and songwriters of varying ages and experience in the areas of live performance, instrument tuition and composition.
