Music

I've been playing for more years than I care to count now, (I probably started when I was 13 or 14, so roughly 40 years if you absolutely must know). In that time I've done the rounds of school bands, The Dumas when I was 16 or 17, or both, (side note, the drummer Daz Shields was the only one of us who kept up the music the rest of us just drifted out of it), I've played in a couple of semi-pro bands, the last (and perhaps better known), of them being Channel D with a couple of friends, Alvin Burrell (who went on to better things), and David Smith.

After a line up change (whatever happened to Wendy, a nice lass with a decent voice as I recall), Channel D eventually disappeared up it's own wazoo (largely due to collective apathy and yet another line up change as I recall), and at that point my interest in most things musical began to wane for a good number of years. Although I continued to play for my own enjoyment and even did a few 'guest spots', the guitars really just sat around gathering dust between infrequent bouts of playing (and beer!).

Anyway, to get more up to date, I suddenly re-discovered the guitar at around the same time Hilary and I met, (I was probably trying to impress her), and since then my collection of instruments has grown steadily out of control, for the curious it's all listed below and the vast majority of it has been used in the production of the albums, singles and EP's I am responsible for, the latest of which, 'Synths at Sixty', is available below.

I've just added a VERY occasional studio journal to keep up with my recording activity which you can find here.

Anyway, below are the links for my music so far..
