Bass guitar & vocals

My musical journey started in the summer of 1969 when I brought home an acoustic guitar from Spain. Little did I know where that would lead!

In 1972, a mate of mine was putting a band together and asked me to join as a guitarist. About six months later, we were struggling to find a bass player, so I decided to volunteer. My mate lent me a bass guitar to get started, which I initially played through my trusty Vox AC30 guitar amp!

Eventually, I bought my own bass and a proper bass amp, and I’ve never looked back.

I’ve discovered that I just love being in the rhythm section, locking in with the drummer, holding down the groove and providing the foundation that drives the music along.

After all these years, the bass is still where I feel most at home. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!
