As to this profile...If you're a fan interested in my songs, here are four of them...a comedy song, a pop-ballad, a Bossa Nova and a slow rocker. The pop-ballad and slow rocker are from my NEW CD! If you're interested in getting a copy...send me a message...
If you're more interested in my comedy, I've uploaded a couple of live videos...
I hope that they work!
If you're somebody who wants to book me or help get me or my new CD world-famous (HEAVY HINT!), have a look at either/both. There's also a longer video...my EPK (electronic press-kit).
Also now available for download on to your iPod is a full interview that made recently in the street near my home, at a café table...
You can download it here!

You decide. Naturally, I think that I'm unique!!! ;-)
Although I was signed to the same company as The Beatles in the 60s and recorded at Abbey Road, I only went full time in 1979, by coincidence opening (the only opening act ever used) for Paul McCartney's WINGS. Since then, I've worked as a Jazz singer/musician (LOVE the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmichael etc.), performed Bossa Nova in Brazil (Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim...more geniuses!), become a headline act on the London comedy circuit and, still a singer-songwriter, of-course, performed my one-man show with success at the Edinburgh Festival and, indeed, literally around the world.
Naturally, I'm always available for A&R men, film producers, TV producers and gorgeous women, especially, (though not necessarily), if they're from Brasil!!!... ;-)
I recently had a CD out on SONY (covering more of my comedy-music.
You can now download it from...
