Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I couldn't really say a best gig as they've been lots of them, but I can say I used to really enjoy the month-long musical tours throughout the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. The most memorable venue I performed at was an open air gig at Hampton Park, London.


What's your favourite type of event?

I enjoy playing all sorts of events, and couldn't say whether there is one type event that is my preference - it's really the atmosphere, created by the people, the architecture, and music combined, that makes it special.

I been performing live for nearly 30 years. I started gigging as a lead guitarist and singer, in blues-rock cover bands, throughout the North of England, during my late-teenage years.
