MySpace a place for friends

Back in Gt. Yarmouth, in local band PARISHEIGHTS - when I started writing my own numbers. Next stop............

London: In bands PENGUIN FURY, DEAR JOHN & lastly THE WORRY DOLLS. In between, I was working on/with solo recordings, collaborations & gigs.

Hull: Past bands - HULL MAN, THE ORDINAIRES, BRAZIL & FRANK. I now do quite a bit of solo recording - experimental, as well as jazzy/electro/improvisation stuff, & take part in Art-based webcasts & events. I gig occasionally with (& have recorded with) WRECKLESS ERIC, & also more recently with AMY RIGBY.

Present bands: BIG SPIDER BECK - a duo/collaboration with vocalist & ukelele-player Garry Pullen. I'm playing the keyboard + gadgets, with the odd bit of singing thrown in for good measure. We aim to cover everything from Elvis to The Fall (& beyond) in our own unique way. (www.myspace.com/bigspiderbeck)

FEAR OF BICYCLES - experimental/jazz/prog rock/noise-thing. A four-piece comprising of guitar/loops/FX, keyboards/Theremin/FX, bass & drums. All the music is improvised, & can go in any direction, at any given time.....& usually does! (www.myspace,com/fearofbicycles & also at: www.fear-of-bicycles.co.uk)
