“Both my Dad and his before played trumpet, so I followed in their footsteps playing jazz and swing. My interest in playing guitar was ‘sparked’ by the visit of a young Martin Simpson to my school’s folk club! Taking it up gave me the opportunity to combine a love of words with music. And wear that mantle of Singer Songwriter! Now, in my mid-60s, I still love writing and performing. Music has given me some great memories and brought me into contact with some amazing people. And like many of them, it’s been a comfort and friend.”
