Born in Bristol and having been brought up from Glasgow to Singapore with a few points in between, I gained a global perspective from an early age on a musical journey beginning age 7 with the violin in Hamburg, swapping that for guitar age 12 in Singapore, after encountering The Beatles. After completing a 4-year course at the City of Leeds College of Music, I secured a publishing arrangement with Burlington Music in 1971 for songwriting and various BBC-National TV & Radio appearances between 1971 & 73. My focus became fixed on live-performance and I played at many festivals and events.
