A BIT ABOUT ME (This bit of blurb includes links to other sites for more music)

I was about three years old when it was first discovered that I had some musical ability, through picking out tunes from the radio on dad's old harmonium, and demanding that Semprini be kept on!! Piano lessons from the teacher down the road were little encouragement to my creativity. Joining the local church choir was followed by winning a scholarship to Coventry Cathedral Choir, where I received much of my music training. A music 'O' level helped discipline my music activites (a little!), but by then I'd started writing with my school mate, Clive Barnwell.

Coventry is not well known as a hot-bed of musical activity, and a poor self image meant I was in my early twenties before having the nerve to join my first local band. My 'heroes'  at the time were the likes of Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz and Richard Tandy. A lengthy stint with Disco band 'Drops of Brandy' resulted in a split; some of the band wanted to develop songs Clive and I have written, and so 'Paris' was born. We were not interested in being trendy (too snobbish for punk which we all detested), we aimed for musical excellence, not popular at the time! Some slight local recognition nearly resulted in a recording and management deal - but only nearly! Eventually, I sensed the move to synths in the early 80's, the rest of the band weren't interested, so Paris disolved. Music activity waned through my first marriage - having to be sensible and all that - but some songwriting continued (I joined the Guild of International Songwriters and Composers for a while). the early 90's saw me joining some Electric Ceilidh bands (Aardvark, Five Minutes to Midnight and the occasional dep. with Peeping Tom).

Divorce brought depression - and salvation! I started to get involved in praise and worship music, and writing Christian-themed material. Throughout a troubled second marriage, writing including three musicals scripted by various authors. I also started working with
Patrick McNeill on TV ad. and DVD soundtracks - I hope you enjoy exploring this page for examples of work already completed.

My recording set-up is nick-named 'The Paddock Studio'. This is because "The Donkeys" is my 'virtual band'!
