This page is simply my scrapbook album of images, sounds and memories of good times had and gigs played.

Pride of place is this photo (taken by my good friend Paul Cooper – circa 2001)

Sharing a joke with my dear friends, Tucker Finlayson/Bass (RIP♥) DerekGriffiths/Guitars, Alan Coulter/Drums and Chris Parren/keyboards  (aka The Valentine Vagabonds). I was so lucky and privileged to work with them all and I learned so much in their company – on and off stage. Between them and apart from many other artists and bands, they have played and graced stages and studios worldwide with renowned and legendary artists Chuck Berry, Gene Pitney, Marti Wilde,  Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney, George Michael, The Crickets, The Tornados ………
