I Started my musical career as a drummer (1972-1985). Mainly rock & punk bands. I still play drums, but now this is on my own material. Iam a singer/songwriter, writing acoustic rock stuff. I have roadied for Lots of celeb bands ie, Leftfield, Ian Brown, Primal Scream, David grey, Nick Cave & many more. I began playing guitar and singing in my own bands In 1989. I have toured & played with some excellent musicians both as a drummer & guitarist and jammed out with the likes of Noel Reading & co. I have recorded & produced two of my own albums (Philanthropic Road & Ghost Without a Face). At present I am into a few things. Myself & a friend Andy Lane are putting together a hard trance album (The Ancient Babies). Currenttly working on a new co writing project with 2 other chaps. If there is anyone out there interested in playing live please get in touch.
