Influences

Having spent a lot of my working musician life touring with Motown artists I have a real passion for this kind of music. I love so soul and funk especially early 70s funk and have an extensive record collection. Although I’m happy to play anything that’s where my groove is. I still move quite heavily in the industry doing odd tours and debt kicks for quite well-known bands. I’m more looking for the social aspects and farm of being around like-minded people than fame.
