About Me

I'm a songwriter and producer and have worked with many different artists across many genres. As a songwriter, I have sold over 250,000 records across various territories.

I grew up watching the films of Charlie Chaplin, the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan films and via my Dad, the technicolour musicals of the fifties. I'm crap with disciplined regimes and authority, although I need a routine in my life!! The past always seems safe, the future a bit scary. Arsenal Football Club dominate my thoughts to an unhealthy degree.

I'm married to the best wife in the world, who introduced me to the joys of Cornwall.

I talk too much. Far too much!

I'm originally a bass player, guitarist and singer and can be seen playing bass with Slashed Seat Affair

The tracks you can hear are a small example of what I've been up to with Slashed Seat Affair!! Hope you like them.
