Visit My New REVERB.COM Store

I’ve just started a new “presence” on Reverb. There’s a reason. I have quite a lot of gear, and now find myself needing to find new good homes for some of it. * There’s too much stuff here – more than I could ever use! *

The 2022 Update

What interesting times… if this isn’t a test of adaptability, what is? So many changes, so many challenges. We’ve all had to alter bits and pieces of our lives. I’ll share with you some of my own experience. Not being much of a gambling man (with the exception of my musical adventures), I’ve been keeping […]

The Missing Categories Are Here!

A short while ago, this website was hacked (no real damage done, and no malware was permitted to be installed). Needless to say, this was not fun. In rectifying the various plug-ins, some of which were out-of-date, we lost a sidebar which directed visitors to various “categories” of posts. Until we can get this cleared […]

~ Norwegian “Would You”

I’ve recently had the pleasure of producing a very talented singer-songwriter from Norway. In 2018 I found myself revisiting Fredrikstad – a beautiful part of Norway – cobbled streets, wooden buildings, warm hospitality, and a great state-of-the-art recording studio. It was a treat to work in a brand new space, with brand new people. The […]

The Guitarist Columns

In late 2015, I was asked by Guitarist Magazine to pen a monthly column for their publication. The remit was simply “write about whatever strikes your fancy”. My kind of assignment! I continue to pen these  (type them, really), and my arrangement with Future Publishing is structured so that copmlete rights revert to me after […]

Farewell, Walter

In the late ’60s, I had the wonderful job as Musical Director for Jay & The Americans for a short while. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were members of the backing band. Their world, apart from being gigging musicians, was about composing music in a style that many thought was ‘ahead of its time’, and […]

Thank you, Mr Page

Jimmy and I first met in Lima Ohio, back in ”67, while he was touring with The Yardbirds and I was teaching and performing locally. We hit it off, and experienced copious laughter and grooves. A really cool bloke… (and thanks for the ‘grade’)

Le Generation Blues

Here’s the story – Dillon’s father Robbie and I have been friends for over 40 years. But being an ocean apart for eons, I didn’t get to experience Dillon’s growth first hand. We began as Facebook friends, liking some of each others’ posts and doing a bit of online chat. Then Robbie messages me that […]

A Tale Of Two Pedal Boards

Well, maybe three. I’m still putting one together “from scratch” – but more about that further down the page. In The Beginning… Roland’s sub-brand “Boss” pretty much had the market sewn up. As a consultant to Roland at the time, I was one of the first to enjoy it. Heck, I even remember doing an […]

Healin’ Feelin’

What a great pleasure, to discover that some of the music I make does “what it’s supposed to do”. As many of you will be aware, I had a totally successful series of cancer treatments at the end of last year. I was ever so grateful to the team that attended to me, and gave them gifts […]

BBC Radio Tees Interview

I was invited to spend an hour with ace BBC DJ John Foster to play some music and chat on his Friday afternoon show. It turned out to be a most delightful time. Check it out… You can immediately stream or download the mp3 of the show for transfer to your fave portable player so […]

“VIRTUAL MEMORY” ~ My Latest CD Is Available Here

Marking the 50th anniversary of my “life in the music business”, it gives me great pleasure to announce that my latest CD album is now available!   And did I mention it’s downright eclectic? Yes, it is. As you know, I’m enamoured of so many different musical styles and moods, and I feel that the time is right […]

Long story short: After […]
