LEE PANKHURST

Classical, Acoustic, Electric & Bass Guitar Lessons

Lee has been playing guitar since the age of 12 and just over 50 years later, is still going strong! He has played in a selection of cover bands and his blues guitar solo act became very well known around the pubs and clubs of Essex and Suffolk in the early noughties. He has switched his focus to classical guitar in recent years and regularly performs at weddings, parties and care homes as a solo musician. For the past ten years he has worked as a volunteer at Southend Hospital and can be found playing soothing, old time classics in those wards devoted to elderly care. Also, he has recently begun playing songs for youngsters in the Neptune children’s ward. Lee puts great store in focusing in on his student’s musical tastes and ambitions, allowing him to develop a course of lessons that will help them achieve their personal goals.
