Released three moderately successful CDs in New Zealand. Somewhere In New Zealand Tonight in 1995, A Place To Play in 1998, and If That’s What You Want in 2001, the latter credited to Glen Moffatt Band.
Relocated to Queensland, Australia, in 2002. Sometime member of the Smokin’ Crawdads.
Have had co-writes on albums released by Bill Chambers, Ritchie Pickett and Chet O’Connell, co-written with Michael Muchow, Mick Martin and Kerry Jacobson (ex-Dragon), as well as returning to New Zealand twice to tour with Chambers, Pickett and O’Connell.
