About Me

Singer/guitarist/songwriter, with a full array of the talents.Used to be in a bunch of beat combos you've never heard of with names too awful to mention in public. Some of them were well liked by passing journos/radio types. Had management, did legal, played instores. Even had the odd celbrity run-in (as vulgar as that may sound). But as Cyndi Lauper rightly points out "It's all in the past now..."The present? Charles from The Wrens likes my music, so you don't have to.I often grace the stages of London.
