Electric guitarist, playing from the age of 14. Began with influences from US blues and British blues scene players in 1960s. Played in various blues, soul and prog rock bands, then co-formed Fusion Orchestra, turning professional and touring with the band for around four years. Signed to EMI, making one album (Skeleton In Armour) at Abbey Road (still available on eBay!). Semi-pro bands after Fusion Orchestra included Rampant Robot, with various ex-Fusion Orchestra members. Took a beak during the punk era.

More recently, played guitar with Voodoo Highway then Spinedance -- playing with some of the best musicians I've ever worked with and best descibed as performing a mix of bluesy/funky/rocky material.

Have now formed Fusion Orchestra 2 to play music from the album Skeleton in Armour and new material in the same vein.

Fusion Orchestra 2 is the second incarnation of Fusion Orchestra – a previously signed and recorded band with album and single on the EMI label.

Influences:

Too numerous to mention.

Equipment List:

Current Guitars: Gibson Firebird V, Fender Texas Special Fat Strat, Fender Fat Telecaster, Fernandes Ravelle Elite Sustainer. Amps: Marshall TSL 602 Valve Combo with 2x12 Marshall extension cabinet.
