Rex Preston was last seen on the folk & acoustic scene when his band Jane on Thunder reached the final of The BBC Young Folk Awards. Since then he has been building a strong portfolio of electronic music.


In 2009 Rex flew to Winfield in Kansas to take part in The Walnut Valley Mandolin Championships. He came third & won a Weber mandolin for his efforts. The contests at Winfield are held in very high regard in the States, with past mandolin champions including Chris Thile & Matt Flinner.


Rex is now taking on mandolin students of all ages, styles & abilities.


As a professional musician with over 20 years of mandolin playing & teaching experience, he has something to offer anyone who wishes to learn.


He can offer one to one sessions at an hourly rate or day long group workshop style seminars for a negotiable fee.
