ABOUT

played on N.E.Club circuit in70's-retired to bring up family and now after being asked to stand in for my original band again in 2006,
I GOT THE BUG again!and consequently have been working in the area in various bands (forming & failing due to the usual things!)they seem to roll along nicely for 10/12 weeks and then crumble.
Currently I am working iin a band Named -TYRANT we have had a chang in line -up,and we have a rock chic singer now,so direction has changed a little.
I am also working in a SATELITE BAND whichis looking for a male singer and a strong lead guitarist if possible, early BLUES /ROCK , PROG ROCK and stuff!

we would like a fellow 'mature' musician and vocalist to give me /us a call on07505102884.

I have been in quite a number of bands over the years , but sincemy re- emergance on to the music scene in 2006, I have had to contend with overcoming the effects of having 'Parkinsons Disease',..Happily the fact of playing helps with my fluidity, i am involved with 2 x bands at the moment, and have numerous contacts and venues to practice at.
