OK, so it's a small world at the moment but hey we all knew that.
If you have found this page then you already know me – If you can’t remember why I seem familiar then the following blurb may jog your memory -
I am a record producer, recording engineer, songwriter and recording artist, as well as a member of the Celtic band Ceredwen.
After working as a music editor for Polydor Records in London I set up a recording studio with Dolly Mixture and Adrian "Percy Pavilion" Wykes where I produced (amongst others) the notorious skate-core band The Stupids.
Moving back to London as studio manager for Warner Chappell Music I co-wrote songs for signed artists such as Billie Ray Martin and Shara Nelson, as well as writing theme music for BBC radio.
I was also gigging as a founder member of the film-noir band 'Day For Night', whose lead singer Brendan Cassin went on to write 'EastEnders' and 'The Bill'
At much the same time I worked as an independent producer for Vinyl Solution, Demon, Red Rhino, Idea and TVT, producing albums for Bolt Thrower, The Jack Rubies, The Space Maggots, Perfect Daze, The Wood Children, Sink, Playing at Trains, The Abs, The Cateran and The Stupids, as well as the top 10 single "One Summer" by The Moss Poles.
After signing to Real Music in the States and releasing the now legendary ‘Legends of the Celts’ album I formed the dance label Futurasound with Gilbert Gabriel from The Dream Academy, co-producing and co-writing the top 10 dance singles "Call My Name" and "Reminiscence".
