Born 1958 in London .

Always sang for as long as I can remember - I studied classical piano from about the age of 5 - but the devil's music kept a callin' -until at the age of fourteen I was writing poetry and songs - and I discovered drums.

Spent the next 17 years touring as a drummer with bands including Flying Saucers (with Sandy Ford & Pete Pritchard),Count Bishops (with Johnny Guitar), Redhouse Blues Band, Stateline, Trux (with Eddie Allen & Roger Newell), Tilt(with Gordon Russell & Andy Heart),Gunslingers, Kix, Skat, and the legendary Chuck Farley (featuring Steve Simpson,Geoff Whitehorn,Polli Palmer & the late Boz Burrell). Also jammed with the likes of Paddy Goes To Holyhead with Mal McNulty and Bernie Shaw sharing mics, Glitterband, some of the Ramones, Johnny Thunders,Quireboys to name but a few. It was an amazing time where I got to meet and work with some of my heroes.

It's due to the diverse mix of bands that I have worked with that my songwriting covers so many musical sins and breaks a few rules along the way.

By this time,I was the veteran of about 2500 gigs performing at every level from pubs and clubs to major tours and festivals. Moved to Cheshire and then North Wales. Being by the sea brought fresh inspiration and I started to write songs again - but at a more prolific rate. Moved back to London in 1996 and teamed up with old friend and guitarist Steve Yelland to form Back2Back and then Flashbacks - but this time I was fronting the band as vocalist and guitarist.

I returned to West London, was approached by guitarist Chris Hill and harp blower John'Reckless Reg' McGuinness to form a blues band - so with former Taste/Family bassist Charlie McCracken and Paul Atkinson on drums - we formed The Buick Hill Band, a rockin' blues band with a hint of rock'n'roll on the side.



As for the solo project - it seemed a waste to have all that material lying around and not have anything to leave behind - I hope to finish recording the album - 'Battered and Bluesed' by late spring.

So there you have it.....me - still married to my music as I believe I always will be - just as the blues will always be my mistress!!
