Hi
Thanks for visiting my myspace site. I’m a writer, musician, marketer, birdwatcher ... the list goes on! This site is for my music career which spans 30 years and mostly features my exploits in folk music. I played for many years with Shave the Monkey, still do some freelance bass playing for dance bands and am currently working with a duo called TU with fellow musician Shani Eliraz. I also play with Bryan Causton and together we often do support spots at the award-winning Hitchin Folk Club.
If you’d like to know more about some of the gigs I’ve played or other ’exploits’ (quite a few) then please visit my blog on ukfolkie.blogspot.com.
Here’s a few pictures - some musical, some just for fun. There’s more in my photo section.
There’s also some more on my flickr site at:
