Wob has been performing as a solo artist since 1990, often in the most unlikely of places! .. .. .. .. .. Travelling extensively with a trusty acoustic guitar, the "astonishingly bouncy talent machine" (Rock 'n' Reel), was spotted at venues all over England, gaining ecstatic audience reactions from crowds more used to punk rock than acoustic music. At the end of 1990 he joined the ranks of agit-folk-rockers Blyth Power, a band described by Folk Roots, as "a national treasure". After four years of touring and recording the critically acclaimed Guns of Castle Cary and Pastor Skull albums, Wob decided to concentrate on his own music. This path has led him to festivals, rock venues, folk clubs and a host of weird and wonderful places in Britain, Europe and Australia. In 1995 Cycle Records released Wob's debut album I Can't Stay Long. "Despite the albums title, this looks set to be a story that will run and run" (Rock 'n' Reel). Since then there has been Friends In The Night which according to Folk Roots, "captures energy on a coiled spring". March 1996 saw Wob travelling to Australia to tour with the Killjoys, a band often heard on Neighbours and Home & Away. During this tour he won "Best Newcomer" award at the Port Fairy Festival, the prize was a brand new Maton guitar. .. .. .. .. .. In August 1997 a charity tour of Romania was undertaken, playing in children's homes and culture houses. Early 1999 found Wob recording his first solo album, proper. Gather brings together moments from the Straight on till Morning sessions, a new set of recordings done at Lighthouse Studios, Weymouth and live tracks from Germany and Austria. This album was released in time for his second solo tour of Australia in March 1999, which also was made into a live CD 'Shouting From The Shore'. Since then, Wob has produced perhaps his most accomplished album to date, 2003's 'With Just One Step'. He continues to tour the UK and overseas. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    "Wobs music gets you right there - a blend of his incredible vocals, lyrics that come straight from the heart and melodies that will have you humming for days. When you see him live, his energy and charisma truly capture the imagination causing even the rowdiest of crowds to quieten. Beautifully deep, yet musically intense, yet fun and outgoing - there is something indefinable about Wob that sets him apart from most other live acts." CAMOTION PROMOTIONS
