In my younger years, I began playing in my local primary school, then playing for Church services as an Organist/Pianist.  I also went for private tuition to try and learn to read music from Daniel Letham who put me forward for the prestigious Glasgow Music Festival where I won the Jazz & Rhythm & Blues class 5 years running with honours awards, and also achieved Grade 5 at the London College of Music.

I'm not great at reading music, my strongest is playing by ear, as I'm very quick at learning.

I've also worked with some well known and established musicians also such as:

Chris Glen - Bassist with The Sensational Alex Harvey Band/MSG/John Martyn
Rodney Appleby - Bassist with Ian Gillan
Ted McKenna - Drummer with The Sensational Alex Harvey Band/MSG/Rory Gallagher
Julian Hutson Saxby - Guitarist with Nina Hagan/Swans In Flight/The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Martin Jebowski - (Vocalist with Maiden Scotland)

and more....

In 2013, I had the chance to play in Marrakech, Morroco with my good friend and band mate Willy McGonagle where we performed in a 5 star hotel for 6 weeks to the rich & famous.  Good experience of working with new people, and new places.

in 2019, I completed my first solo album 'Out Of The Dark’ which is being produced by John Carson.

The album will be all original material and music influenced by my love of movie soundtracks - mainly the work of the likes of John Carpenter, Henry Manfredini, Danny Elfman etc..

This is part of a 4 part series of albums in the out of the dark series with 

PRECIPITATION: Out Of The Dark Part 2 currently being written...
