Jamie lives and breathes The Den, when not on the shop floor he can be found tutoring the young and mature students guitar, bass, ukulele or drums. Tutoring has allowed Jamie to share his ability to play many genre's of music such as 60's instrumentals, 70's funk, jazz/blues improvisation and many, many more.

From making tea and using a mop, Jamie is main man at the shop.
