About Me

Well, where do I start?
Well apart from various incarnations as a GHOST, I was one of Bob's original STARFIGHTERS....
I've recently quit my job playing synthesisers with SPACE RITUAL, formed in 1999 from the original members of HAWKWIND with whom I was involved during the early years. I've spent the last five years with SPACE RITUAL, recording and touring quite heavily and have now returned to the mortal plane for rehabilitation, revitalisation and rest.
It couldn't have been that bad as I'm already looking for my next project. probably something musical but hey, who knows what's round the corner? I had a short story published last summer so maybe writing will come into the equation.
Now I have my own recording studio, I'm contemplating re-recording some of my old material from the 80's which fell by the wayside but still shows some promise. I'm mixing a couple of Karmelion albums at the moment and working on an album with Andy Tong which is helping me to get the studio settled down, it's all going quite well really.
This winter I'm going to get down and seriously study arranging for strings, it's something I've always wanted to do and I just love all those fat string arrangements on the music of the 60's and early 70's. Truth is I just like fiddling. Ha!
