I’ve always loved the idea of ‘paying it forward’ – those feel-good stories where someone steps in to help out, no fuss, no spotlight, just doing a good thing because they can and are able to. Now that I run my own guitar and bass repair business, I figured it’s time I stepped up and did my bit too.

That’s how the Play It Forward Initiative (PIFI) was born.

Here’s the deal: loads of people have guitars or basses lying around either broken, neglected, tucked away in cupboards or lofts. Most of them just need a bit of love (and a guitar repair man). Instead of gathering dust, those instruments could be fixed up and passed on to a child or someone who really wants to learn / play but doesn’t have the means to get one!

If you’ve got a guitar, bass or amp you’re not using, I’ll do my best to bring it back to life and get it into the hands of someone who’ll truly appreciate it. Alternatively contact me as you can also help out by sponsoring someone for lessons if that’s more your jam.

If you got a guitar, bass or amp donation or want to chat about getting involved? Just drop me a message – I’d love to hear from you.
