"I started playing a Chad Valley tin banjo at 10 'till I blistered my thumb and was hooked! Bought my first home-made guitar at eleven and been playing ever since. Must get better at it one day! Played in beat groups in Cumbria, then found folk at 17. Fell in love with twelve-string guitar at 18 and been playing one ever since. Moved to the Midlands in 1969, played at The Olde Red Lion and Lobster Pot in Rugby and then ran the Corner House Folk Club, Bedworth for some years in the early seventies. Met Malc Gurnham, Dave Sampson, Bob Kirkpatrick, Dave Bennett et al. Dropped out due to work and family and now getting back into it. Influences have to be Tom Paxton, any '60s pop, Colin Scott and Harvey Andrews. Loving the scene now and hoping to develop my entertaining style with more original material, (okay, and some new jokes!). Currently working with lyricist and author Jill Pickering of Majorca to produce original material, featuring in my performances already. Hope to expand this greatly. Intend to get into the studio soon and produce my first CD, featuring these original songs and some covers" | |||||||||
