Guy has played in pit bands for a number of shows, playing Drums, Percussion, Bass Guitar, Guitar and Keyboard in different productions over the last 10 years. Since leaving University, Guy has continued to be involved in the musical theatre pit scene, playing in the band for shows with Bare Productions, MGA and Falkirk Youth Theatre.
During his 3 years at Leeds conservatoire, Guy trained in a variety of skills, including musical direction, conducting, vocal technique and care, piano skills as well as other musicianship techniques. This has put him in the ideal position to take on Musical Direction for Amateur Theatre.
