Started on the old spanish banjo at 14. Great memories, two cassette recorders, multi tracking, learning note for note from my heroes, Lightnin, Jimmy Page, Carlos, Tom Verlaine oh and others of course

I can't remember if it was John Martyn at Cardiff Uni in 1976 or ACDC same year. Although, Ive got a sneaking suspicion it was Cockney Rebel at the Capitol Theatre Cardiff in 1975

Gibson 339 vintage red. A 52 reissue Telecaster butterscotch and a Hot Rod Delux 40 watt Fender tube surf green. Nice set up I think. Occasional use of wah wah.

The blues and Carlos

Been in many bands, Kevin Pacemaker and the Tumours, Ron's Neighbours, The T Bones, Conspiracy, Kyoga, Sakhi, finally my current band 'The Grey Goose Blues Band'. My favourite I think. It's a band in which I play guitar, write songs and sing. I am happy now.

T Bone Walker and BB King. Simply the best.

Biggest mm probably 300 maybe 400. There's been a few of this size gig from the Landrover social club, Bham, the Robin 2 Bilston, The Garage Arts Centre, Walsall. Smallest well between 10 and 12. various less than salubrious public houses in the Walsall area.

That's unfair. There's so many and they change. OK. Paul Robeson;s greatest hits. No I'm not kidding. He has the best voice ever recorded and he reminds me of my dear departed mother who loved him dearly.
