I was Country, when Country wasn't cool

About Me


Myspace Layoutsl Left school in 1961 to join the Royal Air Force,and came out in 1966. In the early sixties I became interested in Country Music, and started to visit country clubs on a regular basis. I got rather hooked on it, and decided to make a career in promoting it. In 1972 I went to Australia to live, but I found it very hard to find good Country music venues where i could go and enjoy a evening out. I decided to start my own agency, and promote my own shows. Within a year I was placing shows in all the major venues, and clubs in New South Wales, and then started in two other states Victoria, and South Australia. I also ran Music cruises on Sydney Harbour for six years using my own artists. In 1985 I won best produced show at the Australasian Country Music awards, with my show (the Rock-along with Country show) and took it on the road around Australia for 2 years. I arrived back in the U.K. in 1990, and since i have been back I promoted the Midway country Music Festival, and the South East Essex Search for a star show amongst others. I have been promoting Country Music for 25 years and have worked with some of the best, on tours, and recordings and promoting them on my shows. Now i've retired from all that and i;ve settled down in the lovely english countryside of bedfordshire.
