My first involvement with playing music began after seeing a guitar in a second hand shop window whilst out riding my motorbike in 1989, and I bought it!
I taught myself to play and joined a band called Forgiven as a guitarist in 1992.
This was followed in 2002 by co-founding another band, Crimson Scarlet, with Paul Preston. As well as playing guitar and/or bass, I also wrote the music for the song lyrics Paul wrote. After Paul left the band in 2005, I co-wrote songs with Sarah-Jane Johnson.
After Crimson Scarlet disbanded in 2008, I played guitar in a duo with vocalist Lisa Jules at local gigs until 2010.
I took a break until 2019, when I co-founded a recording band, Sable 097, with Sarah-Jane Johnson. I play guitar and write songs.
