About Me

I am a guitarist. I have played and recorded with Dare, Asia, Ultravox, Ten, Burns Blue, Bob Catley, Hugo and many other sessions too over the years. Thought it was about time to set up a myspace page. So here it is :-)
Update end of October 2007
Just put an even newer mix of The Winner up (mix 4). Tightened the mix and redid the bass. Will be redoing the rhythm guitars again next week to inject a little more warmth into them. It's free to download as are all the others.
I was wanting to do another Burns Blue album but Sam's really busy at the moment so that idea has been shelved. I am now going to concentrate on getting an instrumental album together instead.
Here is our first Dare single Abandon. We flew all the way to LA for a week to do this as the director wanted warehouses and derelict buildings.......and we were all living in Oldham at the time haha. We kept quiet and dug our passports out. The girl in the video ended up in the cult tv show Twin Peaks.
Here is the Dare single Nothing Is Stronger Than Love. We did this at The Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park in (I think) December 1988. I redubbed the audio as A&M originally used a really bad audio edit for the video and unfortunately, they forgot to replace it with the actual single edit.
There are loads of lights on stage. Bon Jovi did Wembly Arena the night before and their lighting rig came straight to the Rainbow for our video. The crew also went up to Milton Keynes to pick up a truck full of empty Marshall cabs haha.
The video company were the same one who did all the Bon Jovi 'slippery when wet' era videos and also the def leppard videos from that time too.
Amyway, enjoy and sorry about the picture quality but it's the only digital version I have at the moment.

Here is The Raindance by Dare. We did this at the N.E.C in Birmingham.
This is us (Dare) miming on a Spanish TV show :-)
This is a Dare show we did at The Town & Country club in London in 1989 on the Out Of The Silence tour. We did the gig with It Bites and The River City People. Each bands sets were then shown separately in ITV.
This is another Dare song called We Don't Need A Reason. Can anyone hear a slight change in direction haha. We did this at Elstree film studios and me and Darren get to stand under a million fireworks. The people standing by with fire extinguishers didn't fill us with confidence!!

This is the very rare video we did for Real Love and the last video I did with Dare. As far as I know, this is the only one on the whole net. Hope you enjoy it.

This is a 'Ten' song After The Love Has Gone. I'm the one with the white Gibson Flying Vee. Wish I still had it :-(
This is another Ten song called The Name Of The Rose.
Here's yet another Ten song. This time with a James Hetfield ESP Explorer. Had two of these and sold them. Should have kept one really.
Here is one of me messing about in my studio :-)

re Little Green Courgette

Just uploaded a rough version off an instrumental called Little Green Courgette. A lot of the guitars are being replaced so this is nowhere near a final version. There are no effects or EQ either. I h...

Re Yet another instrumental :-)

Just a demo idea I am working on. Nowhere near finished but I thought I would put something a little more uptempo on here. It needs a good few sections adding yet but the rough idea for the main theme...

New instrumental added

Right then, It seems that Tomorrow never comes has come last in the download stakes so I am replacing it with "Sicilan Kiss'. It's one of my favourite instrumentals I have written. No flash just a nic...
