Even Servants Shine

About Me

I made some records in the 1980s, mostly in a little band called The Servants. I stopped playing music in 1991, and became a solicitor. Since 2004, I've lectured part-time at Brunel University, West London.
Cherry Red Records released a twenty-track Servants compilation in 2006 called "Reserved". It includes the singles from 1986-89 and a John Peel session. I've recorded just once since 1991 - I put together a self-pressed album called "Play Dusty For Me" in 2002. Dan Cross on guitar, Cormac Moore on bass, Willis Moore on drums. There is more information about the music on Derek Sozou's web-site (address somewhere to the left of here).
Time flies. Thanks for looking in.
