Bio:

In the eighties I was lead guitar player with The Clone Brothers, a Camberley based band who wrote a lot of songs, recorded them and gigged around for a while, before reaching a natural conclusion. In 1992 I got involved in monthly jam sessions at The Blue Anchor, Staines - under the name Staines Delta Blues Band, which morphed into Blue Fuses, a fun rock covers band who gigged regularly until the end of 2009. I was very proud of this band. I play music for fun though and unfortunately, for purely non-musical reasons, gigs and rehearsals ended up being a chore, so Blue Fuses have now knocked it on the head. I won't go into gory details here. Will and myself have formed a new band called Fused - having recruited Simon Davies on bass. We're still looking for the right front man. Watch this space.... I'm also in The Alternators, another Surrey based band with a leaning towards classic song-writer sorts of things - you know - Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Richard Thompson, Tom Petty, Van Morrison plus some original material, written by singer, Keith Elford. The Alternators also have a myspace page - see my friends below and click the link. The songs here on MySpace are my own compositions, recorded solo, at home. They were written and recorded for the sheer enjoyment of it. Hope you enjoy them too. I'm a gear and guitar junkie and have put details of all my tools on my blog, for those of you who are interested in matters technical. Thanks for being here and good luck with your own music. Love and peas
