Extract from my biography ....

....I am also privileged (and grateful), to have had amazing musicians like  Paul `Nailed it’ Smith, Richard 'Jazz-Meister' Roberts, Lawrence Cottle, Neil Wilkinson, the late Graham Jarvis, (Cliff Richard Band), Dave Munden (Tremeloes), Jimmy Jewell, (Joan Armatrading), Ian Lyn, (Barbara Dickson Band), John Giblin, (Simple Minds), Geoff Whitehorn, (Family), Henry Spinetti, Mel Gaynor, (Simple Minds), Gerry Conway, (Cat Stevens), Kuma Harada, Glen le Fleur, Tommy Ayres, (Gerry Rafferty), Tim `the Guv’nor’ Hammill, Lee Goodall, Ray Duffy, (Mathew’s Southern Comfort), Nigel Hopkins, (Chris D’Burgh), Peter `Boss’ King, Andrew (other Boss) King, Felix Krish, Sheila and Sheryl Parker, (both of whom sang many of the original vocals), Andrew Griffiths, Steve Balsamo, Mal Pope, David Rose, (Alan Price Band), and countless others, working on my songs. I would also like to especially mention Lorraine King, who sang lead vocals on most of the songs here.

I have also recorded in some wonderful studios, including Abbey Road (yes, studio 2!), Trident, Magritte, CTS, Olympic, DJM, TPA, Angel, Jacob’s, Mayfair, Townhouse, Eden, Soho, Decca, EMI, De Lane Lea, CBS, Berwick St., BBC (various), Utopia, David Mackay's `Factory', Marcus Music, R.G. Jones, Sonic One, Hot-Town, and so many others – and I mustn’t forget all the incredible sound engineers/producers I worked with along the way, especially Peter King, (in whose studio most of my songs were originally record, and whose peerless musical, engineering, and production skills are a major element in the unique sound of my songs), David Mackay, Mark Wallis and Martin Nichols - thanks to all!
