Biography

I have been singing and songwriting since I was 16 . The first record I bought Was Runaway By Del Shannon in 1961 although I was force fed a diet of Elvis and Roy Orbison by my elder brother. The second record I bought was I want to Hold Your Hand in late 63. Then I heard the Byrds All I really Want to do and in the same year Like a Rolling Stone and this changed my life. I still think it is the best rock song ever made. I bought a Hofner guitar. learned to play and started writing songs in 1964 with my friend Duncan Mckie. In 1968 I bought a Harmony Sovereign Flat top in a music store in Yeovil, England and at the same time bought Frank Zappa's We're Only in it for the money , because I liked the Pepper spoof and began a lifelong dedication to Francis and the Muthers. My friend John Jenkins (Woofer3)introduced me to Little Feat and the Band, Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull around 1970 and we started to record my songs on a Grundig 2 track tape recorder. Then I got married and distracted for 20 years. John contacted me on his birthday last year after not seeing him for 10 years and revitalised me. I wrote Close Enough To Touch a few weeks after speaking to him as a nostalgic tribute to a past love from my college days and I have been re-recording old songs and writing new songs regularly ever since
