Play in a band. Introducing student bands The Manneken Pistols and The KBH Boogie Band.
Formed in 2014 by a group of guitar and bass students and myself, the MPs have since played 30+ gigs in and around Brussels, sometimes to large crowds (one gig was approx. 200 people!) The MPs are currently 12 players: electric and acoustic guitarists, singers, bassists, drummers, harmonica players, saxophonists..... A total of 25 musicians have played in the Manneken Pistols since 2014. A further 9 players have played several gigs with another, more recently-formed student band, The KBH Boogie Band.
The Manneken Pistols and KBH bands rehearse at Novanois rehearsal studios in Brussels.

"I recommend Mark as a guitar teacher to anyone. He is a patient, reliable and cheerful teacher, and he makes an effort to teach a combination of the stuff you need to learn and the stuff you want to play. I've really enjoyed my lessons with Mark!"
