Since moving to London from the Midlands in the 70's I've been lucky enough to have a wide range of playing and recording experience with bands including punk band The Cadets, jazz-funksters Limit State, new wavers The Mice, and blues bands Curly Maple & The Flametops and The Diplomatics.
Since October 2003 my main gig has been with harp dynamo Tim Corbett in 'Gentleman Tim and the Contenders'. We've had a whole lot of fun playing hundreds of gigs in and around London (our hometown - check out our twice-monthly spot at Soho's 'Ain't Nothin' But The Blues'), UK and Ireland (particularly some great weekends down at Muddy Maher's in Kinsale). Our album 'Left Hook On The Blues' is available from CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/gttc
Recent dep gigs have been mainly with London-based harmonica maestros including Lee Sankey (A Ten Year Noose), Pete Welland (Pete G & the Magnitones) and Julien D'Imperio (Jules & the Gamblers).

Dear chap, how are you? Any gigs in the Kingston area coming up? Joe's at art college there now and keen to see some live stuff. He's been playing bass while doing his foundation year - 1st bass player in the family! Speak to me, geezer. Jus
Cool looking guitar, Geoff... looks familiar but where is the Harmony West Coast Blues Monster? Thanks for the tips with the Custom Vibrolux I've been cranking it and I've definitely noticed an improvement in tone. All the best,
Hi Geoff! Waaazzup?? Still playing them crappy ol' catalog H-brand guitars? You can't be serious, but I know you are and so am I! Nothing like a BIG hollow body Harmony geetar. Oh by the way: I got a Gibson archtop for sale LOL, Take care, Ray
