  • Bio

    I love playing the saxophone and love playing jazz!! my biggest gig ever was Live Aid when I played with David Bowie which was great. Previous to that I was a member of "The Bellestars" who had a few hits and I also played with Maxi Priest, Jerry Dammers, the Communards, Mervyn Africa and lots of other people. I have been playing mostly jazz ever since but also like to play Salsa and Soul music. I have worked in Japan, USA , Europe and eastern Europe. I play mostly with my own band now or as a guest artist with local bands. The current band lineup has played arts centres and clubs around UK and also appeared at the Brecon festival and The stables in Wavenden. May2009 I have just finished a string of dates with Hazel O,Connor ending up with a gig at Wembley arena. There is a youtube clip from this which I will add a link to below. Also several gigs with my band coming up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLTMQSd_-8k&feature=quicklist&playnext=2&playnext_from=QL Many upcoming gigs with Hazel O'Connor and the Bluja project . See Hazels website for details. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
