Guido, or Giz as he's known to his friends, is a multi instrumentalist who has played in the world of folk, folk-rock and rock for over forty years.
Most recently Guido has been writing and recording with a couple of talened musicians and formed a band called Splinters Rest. "We're called Splinters Rest because we are all splinters from different bands and different genres who have come to rest on a common style of music".
Previuosly he was an original member of Shave the Monkey who played together for over 15 and recorded four albums. Like all good things this came to an end in 2003 but have reunited on a few occations over the years. The last and final mini reunion tour at the end of 2019 and January 2020 with gigs in Finchingfield and Cambridge in the UK & Deerlijk and Ruiselede in Belgium.
After Shave the Monkey split Guido played in Ian Cutler's Slaughterhouse and recorded a live album in 2003. "I am very proud of this album, it was taken straight off the desk with no overdubs." Unfortunately, due to the band members living all over the UK and beyond, it meant that this project was difficult to maintain; however, there may be a posibility of Slaughterhouse playing a concert or two in 2022. Watch this space!
In 2014, along with three other members Shave the Monkey and two good friends formed a new six piece folk-rock band called CarnaC.
Guido was a member of Albion Morris Men for over twenty years before calling it a day in 2003 however, before retiring Albion Morris recorded an album at Graeme Taylor's Morden Shoals Studio called 'Still Dancing after all these years" "It was great fun recording along with Graeme, John Davie, Shirley Collins, Tom Leary, Micjael Gregory and John Watcham"
Guido can also be found plaing in the various ceilidh/barn dance bands such as Dangerous Circles.
