"Hi folks, it all started for me back in
1963, I grew up in Beeston,
Nottingham where I made my first
guitar at school, (it took me a year!)
all the other lads were making 'plant
pots'. I left school and went into
motorcycles, but always had music
in my blood, so after playing in a
couple of bands we started
CANDELARBRA, a 3 piece, 60's vocal
harmony band in the early 70's,
then, turning pro.

After travelling all over England and
Europe, we were the resident late
night band at The Heart of the
Midlands, and working early
evenings at clubs. (an absolute
killer!) After a change of personnel,
we formed STONEY BROKE, (they
did opportunity knocks) sometimes
backing Billy Fury, Marty Wilde,
Heinze, etc., but due to family
commitments I left after a short
while.

I worked with a couple of local bands
around 1980 before going solo in
1983 performing a classic 60's night,
which I did for 20 years.

I thought my days were over until a
fantastic opportunity came along to
work with THE CREW, one of the
best 60's bands around! I just could
not turn it down! So that's it folks,
just come and see the show! Cheers
