I used to play in bands in the Portsmouth,England area.Two of the best I played in were A New Depth (1984-to-1989) and Trade Secret (1994-to-1996,in 2013 we had our first rehearsal for many years with the intention of doing a reunion).
I decided to go "solo" in 2002 and have concentrated my playing on instrumental music ever since.So far I have recorded 7 studio albums-"Blue 9" (2006),"Grace" (2007),"One Man Band" (2008),"Letting Go"(2009),"Mind Set" (2010),Onwards And Upwards (2011) and "Angels And Angles" (2012).

The first gig I ever went to was UFO @ the Portsmouth Guildhall back in 1979!Michael Schenker had just left them!I did get to see UFO with Schenker in them many years later!

I have a really nice acoustic - a Vintage Gordon Giltrap signature acoustic guitar.I also own a very cool electric - a Vintage Les Paul.I use a Crate amplifier.I go through a Digitech Bad Monkey pedal.
I also own a Mahalo Baritone Ukulele!
Percussion wise I have my trusty wrist shakers,Indian bells and foot tambourine!Also I have a great cajon box-with attached castanet and brushes too.
Lastly,I have some harmonicas and a harmonica neck holder that I use.

To meet other musicians.Although I am a solo artist I do like to collaborate.

When I was a little boy I owned a toy Beatles guitar and used to groove along to the Fab 4 when they were on TV!LOL!When I got a bit older I actually got to be in the audience scenes of Paul McCartney's "Take It Away" video shoot!I got to meet Paul and George Martin!Ringo was on drums too!

I am a solo acoustic guitarist/one man band!

I have had the pleasure of playing guitar in a Guitar Craft circle with Robert Fripp!When I studied with Tommy Emmanuel in Bath,England-I played Tommy and others present one of my songs and Tommy played lead on it!Guess it would be cool to jam with Eric Clapton!

I got to open up for Andy McKee @ the Ryde Theatre on the Isle of Wight,UK some years back-that was cool!I played at the London Guitar Festival on the Southbank in 2007 too!

I wouldn't be able to pick just one album!So I better avoid being stuck on your desert island!LOL!
