About Me

I'm a guitarist/singer/songwriter. Usually theres just me and my guitar but I often have the pleasure of making music with some other, rather talented folks.

I've been writing songs and playing tons of solo gigs for what seems like a lifetime now, and loving every minute of it! I've played in some fantastic venues, supporting people such as Clive Gregson, John Otway, Phil Beer, Heidi Talbot/John McKusker/Boo Hewerdine, Keith James and Rick Foot.

My first album "Not Before Time" is now finished and selling well. Its a collection of 10 songs written over a period of around 4 years, and I'm really pleased its finally come together so well.

The album is currently available to buy on CD at gigs and also here online. Just click the link below! I'm already working on another album, with some great musicians, which I will keep you all informed about in good time!
