Making Sweet Music

Many years back – played in a number of rock’n roll and blues bands around Hull and the East and West Ridings. Mates (at the time) with Mick Ronson (Spiders from Mars) and Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span).  Biggest gig – a band called The Small Four (so called because we were a trio!), supporting Hendrix at The Skyline Ballroom, March ’67…
 
Moved on to playing with Mecca house bands (pre-disco era!!) and played in the first “light band” (Eddie Gray and His Shades of Grey, believe it or not) to use the new Pebble Mill radio studios in Birmingham (‘70/’71), as well as at Nottingham Palais and Coventry Locarno with same band.
 
Wrote folk music column and disc reviews for Northampton Chronicle And Echo, 18 years (’76 – ’94). Regular floor spots/gigs on local folk scene as solo performer…

Occasional gigs as lead guitar with local covers band Falling Rock.

Currently in an acoustic guitar duo (“G & T”) with hot guitarist Gareth Warren – no gigs yet: work in progress (but we’re good!). You can catch us at The Telegraph in Moulton on the second Monday of any month (Come All Ye session run by Dave Jolly). Write my own songs and “choons”.

Was musical director for local am-dram group Lings Players for 13 pantomimes and shows. Composed and recorded original music for various productions performed by top local am-dram group The Masque Theatre.

Busy, busy, busy!!
