Thanks for stopping by..... 
 
My name is Ken Cooke and I'm an Adelaide-based guitarist / guitar-teacher.
 I have been playing in local bands, duos, and as a solo guitarist since the late 80's.
 My guitar style is heavily influenced by 60's/70's artists. I play most styles : country, jazz, rock, and blues.
I update this website as often as I can ...and any new info. can be found under "Latest News" (below )
Ok - enough from me - hope to see you at a gig soon.
 
Cheers,
 
Ken

**********   I've had a VERY busy start to my guitar-teaching year !! So good to see such a huge interest in learning the guitar ~ All available lessons are now full, at both schools, Dominican & Our Lady Queen Of Peace. I have some very keen & talented students, which makes it a great job for me
**********   In July I'm heading to the USA for a much needed break....travelling to Texas, Memphis, Nashville, Boston, Indiana, Chicago, New York...very groovy. Will be checking out first-hand where the best music in the world is created !!
*********    I'm still working on finishing my EP of original tunes !! Time hasn't been my friend over the last few months, but I hope to finish it soon ~ I have 'demo-ed' the songs ~ just gotta make time (!?) to finish them .......
*********   I'm now  officially the newest member of "CHESTERFIELD BRASS" (local cover band)- ...which means gig-wise, I'm very busy !! I've done a few shows with them so far....We will be playing at the "Sea & Vines" Festival on the June long weekend too...
*********   The BACKBEAT shows at PJ O'Brien's (monthly) have been going awesome !! We've had some cool crowds in there so far this year....have added a few new songs to our set list too.....Thanks to everybody who has come along to check us out so far !!
*********    "Elsie Out Of Africa" (the restaurant I play at monthly) has re-located to Nile Street, Glenelg. It's a bigger premises,seating around 60 people ~ and they're nearly finished rennovating the NEW function room upstairs... The food is fantastic --- so come on down one Sunday and check it (& me !) out. I play there on their "banquet" nights....usually the first Sunday of each month, but check the "My Next Gig" link on this page, just to make sure.
