Bio

Like every child of the sixties, I grew up with The Beatles on the television and knew immediately I wanted to be in a band when I was older.
I started going to gigs when I was 12 and while schoolmates stacked their radiograms with T.Rex and Slade singles, my musical education was augmented with Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Yes and King Crimson. I was soon making noises on my first electric guitar and an old reel to reel tape machine. And so it began.

Punk happened and right from my first gig, at the age of 16, at the legendary Eric's nightclub in Liverpool and my first Radio One session for John Peel in 1980, I have never looked back or lost the bug for playing, recording and enjoying music. After auditioning unsuccessfully for Magazine and Spizz Energi and playing in a string of local bands, my fifteen minutes finally came in the nineties with Fishmonkeyman. Probably best known for the indie-hit 'If I've Told You Once' which led to deals with Warners and Virgin Music and put the band on television, radio and the road.

I am still producing music, have started developing for Apple, co-manage an internet radio station and label and even accept the odd invitation to dj at underground parties both in Europe and the US.
