Bio:

SOUTH AFRICAN BORN BUT NOW LIVING IN BELFAST. I HAVE BEEN MAKING MUSIC FOR AROUND 35 YEARS NOW AND HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. DONE THE ONE MAN BAND THING - MAYBE DO IT AGAIN SOMETIME... DONE THE ROCK BAND THING - MAYBE WON'T.................. I PLAY GUITAR, BASS, BANJO, MANDOLIN, HARMONICA, KEYS & COMPUTERS AND A LITTLE VIOLIN (VERY DANGEROUS WITH IT)............... I HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVELY INVOLVED IN CHRISTIAN MUSIC & WORSHIP AND PRODUCED THREE ALBUMS BACK IN SOUTH AFRICA, ONE OF WHICH WON THE CBSA AWARD FOR "BEST NEW ARTIST" 1999.................. I LOVE SONGWRITING AND HAVE WRITTEN A NUMBER OVER THE YEARS, MANY OF WHICH WILL NEVER BE HEARD AND PROBABLY DON'T DESERVE TO, I DO BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THEM DESERVE A BIGGER AUDIENCE AND SO I GO DOWN TO THE LOCAL PUBS FOR SINGER SONGWRITER NIGHTS TO TRY THEM OUT. I MAY PUT A FEW DOWN ON AN ALBUM FOR MY 3 FANS. I AM GEARING MYSELF UP TO DO SOME GIGGING IN THE NEAR FUTURE............ I HAVE RECENTLY PRODUCED ANOTHER ALBUM WHICH IS A WORSHIP ALBUM CALLED "THE SOUND OF RAIN" AND WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON ON MY WEBSITE - STILL TO BE LAUNCHED................... 5 OF THE 14 SONGS ARE AVAILABLE TO PREVIEW ON THIS SITE. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED SOME OF THE SONGS I WOULD DO IN THE PUBS.. "LONDON TOWN", "LEAVES", "OUT ON THE HIGHWAY", "LONELY ONES" & "LADY OF THE HIGHLANDS". ................ I DO ALL MY OWN RECORDING AND AM AVAILABLE IF YOU'RE IN BELFAST AND WANT TO DO A DEMO.................. LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH LOCAL MUSOS AND HOPING FOR GIGS IN GREATER BELFAST AREA - ORIGINALS OR COVERS. ....................................................................... IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DOWNLOAD ANY OF MY SONGS YOU CAN DO SO ON THE REVERBNATION PLAYER BELOW. WHY NOT BECOME A FAN AT THE SAME TIME?.. ..Get your layout at Myspace Codes ..
