About Me

Hello there. This is the page for all the stuff I do when I'm not concentrating on being my alter ego, fronting Jonny Cola & The A-Grades . Well, not all the stuff, but the broadly musical bits.
The tracks above are examples of some of the things I've been involved with. Artist details are where you'd normally see sleeve art. Nifty, eh?
Current and very recent projects include masses of work with the now sadly defunct Luxembourg (including a rather nice recorder arrangement), keys and arrangements on a couple of songs for the forthcoming album by The Rocks , piano, organ and glass-smashing for Nicholas Bukowski (who also has an album out soon), production for the wonderful Melting Ice Caps , tracks with The New Royal Family (including the Christmas song you can hear above) and keys and production work on a track by Greenheart for charity album Doing It For The Kids . I'm always open to more offers.
Oh, and I'm not altogether comfortable with this whole Myspace malarkey. Don't expect much in the way of blogs, event invitations etc. Life's too short.
