ABOUT

I have been a working musician in duos, trios and as a singer (lead and harmony vocals) in various country & covers bands since the 80s. Also in a bluegrass trio and a folk rock band. Started out solo in the 70s.Recorded several albums. Genres I sing in range from folk/country/Celtic to Jazz & classical. Basically I can sing anything. Here’s a couple of youtube links:-

Influences

Where do I start. I started out listening to Elvis & The Everleys on the radio.. so I love my 50s and 60s music. Got hooked on music on my transistor radio and all that cool stuff on Pirate radio stations. Vinyl, too. Went to folk clubs a lot in the 60s and early 70s. Started performing in pubs in my early 20s. Singing & playing Beatles, Byrds, Dylan, Joni, Fairport, Seekers, Elvis, Everleys, lots of country music & trad/contemporary folk.
Got into Irish music big time in the 80s. Then bluegrass… Listened to a lot of both. Toured Germany a lot in
the 80s snd early 90s. Also like my Bach, Bacharach, Buddy Holly, Fleetwood Mac. Dusty, Mediaeval music, Renaissance music. Like some modern stuff too. But I am a fan of all the classic stuff at heart. Anything - as long as it is really good.
Really looking for a serious musician - who plays great & enjoys harmony vocals - to form a working duo with.
