Well that was fun. Just a couple of stand-in gigs for a fabulous show featuring the amazing vocals of Harry Cambridge and his fabulous singers plus an awesome 5 piece band. The first at Central Theatre in Chatham at the end of January and the second at the prestigious Symphony Hall in Birmingham. If you love the music of Luther Vandross, check out this show - it’s something very special indeed.

Time Flies….
Wow - I cant believe it’s been February since my last post. Suffice to say I’ve been very busy and very grateful for it.
Since March I've been to Slovakia, Czech, Austria and Sweden with the Dire Straits Exeprience. We had a tour of the Netherlands in May and various trips to France in June, July and August plus a tour of Germany.
I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Sydney writing this post as we are now touring New Zealand and Australia with a little stop off at Tahiti on the way home for a gig. We’ll barely have enough time to unpack our bags and then we leave for France for 3 and half weeks in November. Even December sees two final pre Christmas gigs, one in Helsinki, the other in Madrid.
So that’s my excuse for the lack of posts to my website - apologies.
It’s been a great year for work and I try never to take it for granted.
Who knows what 2025 will bring....
<strong>Brit Fest 2024</strong>
It was a pleasure to revisit my 80s Pop roots for the Brit Fest 2024 Festival at Ashely Showground in Chesire on July 6th. I had a fabulous house band to MD. Artists we backed included, Nik Kershaw, Paul Young, The Real Thing , 5-Star , T’Pau and Owen Paul. Whilst the weather could have been a little kinder, the crowds weren’t daunted. Preparations and rehearsals can be tough but it’s always a pleasure to work with these 80s icons. Rumour has it another one is coming up in July 2025 - this time Midge Ure, The Fizz, Cutting Crew, Hue and Cry and Sinitta. Watch this space !
Never ‘Too Shy’ !
I’m looking forward to performing with 80s singer, Limahl (originally from Kajagoogoo) in September and his band. We’ll be appearing at Butlins Minehead on Sunday 18th September and Butlins Skegness on the following Saturday the 24th. Whilst this isn’t the first time I have worked with Limahl, it will be a chance to perform a full hour’s set of songs from the 80s with him rather than the usual short Festival sets.
