I was born in Cardiff, Wales in 1944.  I went to fourteen schools (one in Germany) as a forces child must, and finished up in Cambridge with 10 'O's and 3'A's.

While an apprentice engineer at Farnborough I played first electric bass then electric piano and sang in several rock bands.  At the end of the sixties I married and became an industrial designer, living in Hampstead.  We moved to N.Wales where we raised two daughters and I commuted to England as an engineer.  We returned to Mill Hill in the late seventies, my wife trained up to the same level as myself and went professional, and one day in the late eighties I didn't manage to pass a music shop...

We moved out to Hatfield, where my daughters gained their professions, and finally in 2002 moved into the sun in Tenerife.  Now I look after a dog and cat (sometimes they look after me!), make music, record visiting musicians, walk, and swim in the sea.  Look me up if you can.
