Why should a web site be all - - - “Ta da “ razzmatazz kind of stuff. I will try to put forth some kind of background information, so as to put more of a personal side to the face you see on the stage or just so happened to stumble across in this web site.

so enough blah blah and on with it ......or what ?

So where do I start ??? OK just teasing

I was born in England in the south east town of Colchester ( for those who are not familiar with the geography of the UK , Colchester lies in the south east ( east Anglia) about 80 Km´s from London to the North east and a ten minuets from the the coast- I am very proud to come from this very historical town. check it out on the net and you will see why

During my school years I was interested in Football (of course ) and rugby. I was a first team regular in the school rugby team (it was always good to beat the local rival school, ha ha we never lost against them toffee nosed so and so´s )

I was also very keen in playing for the school band , I actually started playing drums, but I was not that good ,I soon found that playing guitar was easier on the neighbours, so that meant I could practice without risking upsetting my otherwise very tolerant neighbours. On leaving school early, for a ill fated career in the Royal Navy I realized what I wanted to do with my life -.-.- I wanted to play my guitar . it was all or nothing

I joined my first working band very shortly afterwards and got a taste for gigs, lots of them and I mean lots. This was great I could not believe that people would pay me for doing what I loved the most. Like all good things it ended and the band broke up. I drifted from one band to another not really doing anything positive in fact it probably was the most self destructive period of my life to date. However this did not deter me from my mission .: ”to play my guitar anywhere and everywhere I could”. I even took my guitar to a church one day and had it blessed, good move that was cos now I got god on my side.

The drifting phase took a turn, it took me to London where I helped form one of London’s top live acts at the time . I realized that the music scene out side of my own little sphere was very good, and scary to. I teamed up with a female drummer from Colchester, Crissy Lee , this girl was not just a Drummer she was for many people and still is may I add, a Legend

After this I moved to Ireland where I worked with a country rock type of show band. as well as various other projects. I basically saw the whole country dozens of times a year and met some really great people in and outside of the music world

After numerous tours of mainland Europe, including Spain, France, Germany, Holland and so on. I decided I wanted to move to the USA, so I packed a few socks and my toothbrush and went to west Germany (Stuttgart) for a few weeks holiday before the most radical move/change in my life so far. Well that holiday has been ongoing since 1989, I am now based in Germany and currently live on the German -Belgian border with my long-term girlfriend Inge .

As for the future ...............................????????????????

we shall see ,
