These skills, together with a wealth of performance and recording experience helped Ollie shape his career as a session musician. In the subsequent years has been busy recording and performing with local artists; Angie Palmer "Jersey Street" (Glasgow Underground), Mettle Music (Toko), Big Finn (MR) and also Rebelski (Heavenly,EMI) Holly Lerski (Sanctuary). As well as performances with Global artists: Bob Mintzer, Branford Marsalis and Alan Parsons.
