Born in Coventry, brought up round Cambridge way, escaped to London long time ago. All the while writing and playing and growing and knowing we'd get here eventually... You Will Save Me available now on Wah Wah 45s , more to follow this year...

Lover of all things soulful and jazzy, and friends and family close to me.

This year has been a busy one so far and keeps getting better, the full Scrimshire band is out and about and having an ace time. Gigs so far include Vibe Bar, Proud Galleries, Jazz Café, Cargo and next appearance will be at the Jazz Café on June 26th, don't miss it. In the meantime I'm sheltering from the sun down in my Streatham basement and working busily on an album.

People to see and hear on myspace?... The stunning sounds of Mr Robert Hynd , my good friend and musical brother number 1 The Jazz Magnum - Mr Paul Hodson , good friend, studio co-owner and impartial sounding board to all I do Andy Thurman , my other car is... The Benjamin Gentleman Trio , the incredible Jessica Lauren who graced You Will Save Me with skills I dream of, the always fabulous and imeasurably lovely Simon Goss and Dom Servini , and their sublime and ever joyful Wah Wah 45s and the simply beautiful talent of Inga-Lill who keeps me awake nights in anticipation of the next e-mail coming through with her latest ideas attached. oh and my good friend and lovely bloke that keeps the sanity in the work place Christopher "Teacakes" Trantom .
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
