It was so long ago whilst lying on the living room floor in the family home watching the television as a child that I came upon a show.

It was this young man by the name of Steve Marriott that sparked a kind of obsession that is still with me today I suppose. I can tell you that my thoughts were, that’s what I wanted to do. This emotion is still with me today and I suspect it will never leave. 

My first bass guitar was a Futurama bass guitar and it was an excellent start for me whilst cutting my teeth in the social clubs in the early days. Then the P bass John Diggins natural with brass scratch plate with all of the passive Growl that came with it. But then with the time I had, I was heavily influenced by some great bands the likes of which were Deep Purple, Yes, Chic Korea, Stanley Clarke Band, Weather Report, just to name a few only to find that my taste varied in all sorts of directions I was embracing music from all walks in the journey.  Then came along Caress of Steel it got me curious “What was this?” and I just could not stop playing it.

And this was the beginning of the Rush affair, I must admit if it had not been for that album I suppose it would have passed me by.

I have played with various bands over the last few years and also have had the privilege of playing with some great artists of which I’m very grateful. Those were also different genres, different times, and still I consider myself on a learning curve. That is very important to me, the fact that I am STILL learning, even today gives me the buzz required for me to continue.
