YESSIR YES SIR - SANS MIXED

I am a Blues and R 'n' B  Guitarist based in Manchester, England. I was active performing live and recording from the mid-1970's until 2007. Along with Pat Clarke I formed R n B band Yes Sir in 1980. Yes Sir reformed in 2005 and today are a popular live band in the North West of England. Other musicians and bands I've been associated with are Big Beat and No Change. Like many musicians I enjoyed a long relationship with the Grand British Blues musician Victor Brox and his Blues Train and the many great musicians that have themselves played with him including, Harvey Rose, Alex Dmochowski, Norman Beaker, Tim Franks, Dave Lunt and the late and sadly missed Balis Novak & John Rowlands.
