I am a seasoned performer. I have been in bands as a singer-guitarist and composer for the last 38 years. I have been performing in France, Switzerland and the Caribbean since 1992 and from 1984 to 1991 in my native UK. I am from Manchester.. I still perform in my band, but here I am pitching for my solo show, which involves voice, guitar and orchestrated backing tracks in many styles. Also recently formed a duo GOOD2GO with my colleauge, a female singer/bassist . I/we play Pop-Rock; Soul, Ballads,Reggae,Blues and Ska. I have a personal repertoire of 300 covers and 230 original songs. My covers list comprises songs from The Beatles, Stones, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Willy DeVille, Bob Marley, Toots & The Maytals, Gary Moore, ZZ Top, Muddy Waters, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Otis Redding and many many others. I am available for bars, hotels, corporate events, weddings and receptions. I can read a room in order to favour the styles that are pleasing to the audience and therefore stay away from those leaving people indifferent. My voice (I have been told) resembles Chris Rea/Colin Hay /Kenny Rogers and Mark Knopfler depending on the style. My guitar influences are Peter Green, Steve Cropper, Dickey Betts, Jerry Garcia and Mike Campbell. I have a small P.A and lighting system for small venues. If a large system is need I don't provide this.. I am willing to travel far and wide when it is viable to do so., I tend to dress informally for playing, but can and will comply with a dress code when required.
