About Me

Had a single out in 1981 with "The Videos" ..called "Deo" ...Played the clubs with "Night train","The jogging waiters"," The Boys brigade","Six of the best", "Happy town" & "Primetime".I toured/played every great pub,club and shithole everywhere & anywhere for years.......I also played the north east pub circuit for 10 yrs with "Spike" (Some of Chris Rea's old band) ..Where men are men & women are men!..lol.....apart from that ...I'm trying to write a musical story about growing up on the council estates of Middlesbrough & attending the dreaded catholic schools..I'm still gigging anywhere that has a 3 pin socket & a bucket of love.
