Music has been a big part of my
life from the age of 5 when I was taught to read music and play piano, by
a dear old lady who would come round every week (her name escapes me), but
I have fond memories playing the old joanna in our living room.. |

At the age of 12 I
became interested in the Guitar, and after various atempts at trying
to build one, I badgered my mum to buy me one that came with an amp
in woolies, bless her, she bought it (£15) about a weeks wages
then.
By 14 I was competent
enough (I thought so) to start a band with a school friend (Trevor
Sedge)
|
 |
I
spent the next 10 years in various bands; Sapphire, The Herbs, Just
Lee, playing around Kent and the Country circuit around south
London. |

In
1983 I moved to Devon and started the band 'Negative'. All the musicians
were top class and enthusiastic, We ran for about 7 years, so popular was
the band that we had one couple change their wedding date just to book the
band. With summer season bookings, most weeks in the summer, we would play
every night as well as hold down a day time job (Couldn't do it now).. |

In
1990 I moved to Spain and met Ken Moore (Keyboard player with The
New Vaudeville Band), who owned a bar in Sabinillas
(The Moorehouse), we worked every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for 2
years, before circumstances forced me to move back to England
|
 |
On
returning to England, I met Terry Stacey who had moved down from
Sussex, to open a music shop, and for ten years or so we worked
together in a number of bands and recording albums. |

|
I
retired from playing in 2002, only to be inspired again by listening to
Steve Black, and came out of retirement in 2006, and started a duo with
Louise. I now do the occasional gig with a good friend Nick |
