About Me

Since moving to London from the Midlands in the 70's I've been lucky enough to have a wide range of playing and recording experience with bands including punk band The Cadets, jazz-funksters Limit State, new wavers The Mice, and blues bands Curly Maple & The Flametops and The Diplomatics.Since October 2003 my main gig has been with harp dynamo Tim Corbett in 'Gentleman Tim and the Contenders'. We've had a whole lot of fun playing hundreds of gigs in and around London (our hometown - check out our twice-monthly spot at Soho's 'Ain't Nothin' But The Blues'), UK and Ireland (particularly some great weekends down at Muddy Maher's in Kinsale). Our album 'Left Hook On The Blues' is available from CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/gttcRecent dep gigs have been mainly with London-based harmonica maestros including Lee Sankey (A Ten Year Noose), Pete Welland (Pete G & the Magnitones) and Julien D'Imperio (Jules & the Gamblers).
