FONDEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY

December 1980 - Getting my first keyboard when I was 10 after hearing John Lennon's masterpiece 'Imagine'

BIOGRAPHY

It all started when I heard the above track and got that first keyboard, I was keen to master my instrument. I would rush home after school to play me Yamaha PSS-360! I thought it was the nuts!

I left school with no qualifications and tried a few jobs, but soon I decided I wanted to play keyboards for a living.

I got a chance to learn the ropes by roadying for my best mate Jason (Suggsy) and his various line ups and eventually joined my first band at age 20.

Numerous bands later, including working with top Eurythmics and Bryan Adams tribute bands, I now take my place in the finest Madness tribute band around.

I also run my own studio from home, producing all genres of music.
