About Me

Started playing guitar as a youngster, mainly influenced by the likes of The Beatles, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Fleetwood Mac, and the film 'Woodstock'. First band playing poor versions (we were very inexperienced!) of songs by Jethro Tull, Spooky Tooth, Mountain, Hendrix, Cream, Fleetwood Mac and Man to name but a few. Emigrating with my family (wife Christine and daughters Eleanor & Laura) to Vancouver in the 80's I found the tug of Wales too strong and came back. With 'The Journeymen' I'm back to my roots again, a lot older, a little more experienced, playing and enjoying live music again.
