Biography

I have been in the Professional Music Industry since 1968 and since 1972 I have played on many recordings as a session player. In the 80s I was involved in recording advertising jingles and composing original music for background music companies.

I am a PRS and BASCA member.

Over the last few years, I have been responsible for co-writing, recording and producing all the original music and cover songs for Peter Kay’s “Phoenix Nights” Series 1 and 2,“Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere” and “The Power of Two” workout DVD
