About Ali W.
*ONLINE OR IN PERSON IN BRISTOL ONLY*
Ali is a Bristol-based electric guitarist, bassist, and drummer, with approaching a decade’s experience in the music industry, spanning across a diverse range of genres.
Having played the electric guitar and bass for nearly two decades, and drums for over a decade, Ali has been both a permanent member and session musician for various exciting musical projects. The coming year will mark a decade since he began playing guitar, bass and drums live, and in that time he has toured across the breadth of the UK, playing to audiences from as intimate as a dozen, to over several thousand. Some favourites include The Fleece (Bristol), Clwb Ifor Bach (Cardiff), and the Cambridge Junction, among many festivals!
Ali is currently the Drummer, and studio guitarist for South Wales-based aggro-glam band, TELGATE, who are regulars on the live music scene across Wales, the South West and beyond, and have recently played some high profile, sold-out shows supporting international acts from both Europe and the USA.
Other artists he has worked with before previously include The New America, FIX, Soham De, Staycations and Oslo Twins. As part of these projects, his musical output has received BBC radio play both regionally and nationally, with FIX’s lead single ‘Down & Out’ being featured on Huw Stephen’s show on BBC Radio 1 in 2015.
Ali holds the following Music Qualifications:
Grade 8 Electric Guitar Full Exam (Rockschool, Merit)
Grade 8 Electric Guitar Performance Certificate (Rockschool, Merit)
Grade 6 Drum Kit (Rockschool, Distinction)
International Baccalaureate Music, Higher Level, (7, equivalent to A*)
Ali was also awarded a Music Scholarship to SPF Sixth Form, Cambridge from 2015 - 2017.
In addition to his Music Qualifications, Ali is currently studying for a PhD at the University of Bristol, after completing his BA with First Class Honours. As part of this, he assists the teaching of undergraduate courses. This, in combination with his experience working as a teaching assistant in primary education, means he is adept at catering his tuition to a wide range of ages, whatever their skill level, and whatever it is their desire to learn!
