· He is a re-born musician with strong influences from the 80’s.
· He has come to the party late in his life, a little like Gordon Haskell once did.
· “This Ride” is about the trappings of a possession filled life and that a capitalist competitive culture is not necessarily the road to salvation. What was once the dream under a Thatcher led government was turning into a nightmare as we lost perspective of what life is really all about!
· He records in his own small rehearsal room on the edges of the New Forest.
· In the 80s he was talented spotted by music management mogul Larry Page (Kinks, Troggs).
· He played for Children in Need (recommended by Jimmy Saville).
· He replaced Wet Wet Wet at Earls Court and supported Betty Boo.His marriage broke down after this and he bounced back years later.
