Like many others, I will listen to all genres of music, but it is Blues/Rock that I am drawn to…

I have been the lead guitarist for many rock bands over several decades, playing classic covers from Bad Company, Bruce Springsteen, Thin Lizzy etc. I have also been in bands that have written their own material and have penned a few songs myself..!

My (almost) claim to fame, was when I was in a band called The Movie Stars, in the early 80’s. (We were often compared to Aylesbury based band Marillion at the time). We went on to record an album for Polygram and on the back of that, we were invited to record a session for the Tommy Vance Friday Rock Show on Radio 1, at the BBC Maida Vale Studios. We recorded four tracks that were aired in mid 1982. Tommy Vance liked the session so much, that he repeated it again at the end of the year along with hard-rock band Saxon.

Moving forward, I stopped gigging in 2015, but still get together with a singer and bass player friend of mine. We regularly get together, running through some songs at my house, then finally with our drummer at his place. We then perform them very occasionally at the Arts4Everyone Centre in Wycombe Arts Centre, where they have a monthly Sunday Jam.
