About Me


Born in Liverpool back when people thought that the world was flat!!! Now living in LA. Drummer for years. Played with various L'pool bands such as Nightmares in Wax, early Dead or Alive, Pink Military Stand Alone. Released an EP Buddha Awakening, Disney Sleeping recorded live at Eric's Club. This EP was quite awful in a monstrous sort of way, despite this it still alarmingly reached Number 1 on the independent charts thanks to John Peel. Then moved on to Lies all Lies, etc etc. Moved to London, formed a band called The Gunslingers. Had a single called Never a Dull Moment b/w Shake Some Action (this should have been renamed Many a Dull Moment). Went on to join the Dogs D'Amour. Secured a deal with a Finnish recording label. Pissed off to Finland for a knees up. Put an album out called The State We're In that reached No 4 in the Finnish album charts, also a single called How Do You Fall in Love Again that reached No. 2 in the singles chart. Shot a couple of awful but funny videos for How Do You Fall in Love Again and The State We're In.[youtube,if you must] Video technology was afterall at its best back in 1985 in Finland.... NOT!!! Then off I went to The Queerboys/Quireboys. It became blatantly obvious that the UK public had had enough. Moved to LA in 89. Tried to rehack the Gunslingers with a new lineup. It would seem apparent our cousins in the colonies were not quite ready for this sort of fiasco. After various musical disasters, one thinks it's better to put his feet up in his declining years. Most recently did some work on Spike's (Quireboys) solo projects due out this Xmas.[06][everyone should have a turkey at Xmas][Now Sept 07] as well as a short drunken stint on the Quireboys This is Rock N Roll (LMAO!)Time for my nap. object width="425" height="350"
