About me: Hi.I live in Llandudno,Wales. I have played bass for over thirty years now and am currently playing on releases from Alistair James and Shade. I've been around the North Wales coast music scene for a few (too many) years and have played with many Welsh and English bands over the years including Llwybr Cyhoeddus (1980s), Jina (1990s), A Few Good Men, The Company, Mwg, Mojo, Harvest Moon, The Blues Project, Stir and a few more who I can't (or don't want to) remember
When not playing bass - I am a director of a family business opeating a small factory making and selling high quality ice cream and running several cafes,vans and kiosks - www.parisellasicecream.co.uk. I live in one of the most beautiful and happiest areas in the UK - Llandudno - but when I do get the travel bug I love Florida and Italy. I went to college in Bath - a beautiful and exciting city.

Hope you had a good Xmas. I've not come across Dave Stephen yet. I've had this bad dose of jazz influenza as you can hear. Don't know I caught it because I usually rock a bit. Must be an age thing! I'm sorting out my timing....slowly.
Hi Tony!! Yeah the Francis Dunnery gig was awesome! I'd met him before but seeing him do the electric show/guitar again was joy! And such a nice guy too. He really liked my band as well, a lot of good stuff happened that night. You can see it for yourself if you visit YouTube tho. Just search for JUNK,Francis Dunnery,King Tuts,Glasgow, you should find it!! Cheers Tony :-)

Really enjoyed your work on Llwybr Cyhoeddus and Jina in the olden days. Just good honest bass playing. The world needs more of that.
The bass on Can 2 is a (geek alert!) completely trashed 66 Jazz that I bought from Med the Dead (he used to do a lot of PA work on the Welsh scene) in the mid 80's. I'd just done some playing work and had money burning in my pocket so he suggested I bought it from the bloke he sold it to in Penrhyn Bay. I had no idea how old it was, I just knew that it looked very cool and that was enough. The rest is my Double Bass.
