Hallo - and welcome to my website

I started playing harmonica and blues harp as a teenager, and then bought my first guitar in 1964. I’ve been a professional and semi-professional guitarist for over 40 years and now live in the county of Sussex in England. I started off playing in northern folk clubs in the 1960s and graduated to blues, jug band music and 1920s dance band music in London. I moved to the south coast, playing folk and jazz and then spent 12 years in a 1950s-style rock’n roll trio. I’ve just finished a 13-year stint in a 6-piece band, playing Southern Soul and boogie-woogie - basically the music of Stax and Muscle Shoals. I'm now back to playing electro-acoustic guitar in a Ceilidh band and in folk clubs. Over the years, I've added tenor banjo, mandolin, mountain dulcimer, ukelele and various other bits and pieces to the repertoire - and I've always dabbled on keyboards...
