I’ve been a singer and guitarist for 25 years and have been a guitar teacher for 8 years. I am originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland but now I live in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.

This site has 5 distinct sections, accessed via the links at the bottom of every page, and each section has further links into the site.

BAQ is the Brian Acton Quartet, and POWDER JAZZ is my commercial band for weddings and corporate work.

The LESSONS page includes plenty of resources for students and the link entitled ‘PAST’ has lots of music from 25 years of experimentation, composition and enthusiastic play. Enjoy.
