I started to play the organ at the age of 11 and joined my first band as a keyboardist at 17.

I have played in many bands covering a wide range of styles including rock, jazz, country and pop from the 50's through to current songs.

I have learnt to play guitar, bass, drums and saxophone along the way and I was a founder member and volunteer music mentor/trustee for Bandedge Resurrected, a non-profit organisation dedicated to making music accessible to everybody in the community.
