Welcome to my web site. I hope you'll find all the information you are looking for.

Sad news, the legendary trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton passed away on the 25 April 2008. He was an inspirational and enthusiastic man who touched the lives of many people. I will always be grateful for the fantastic oppertunity and great fun I had playing in his band and will always look back on that time with great fondness.

This March, I returned to the recording studio to make my second album, 'PLAYIN'. The band includes Dave Cliff on guitar, Ted Beament on piano, Ed Harrison on bass and Buster Birch on drums. It's a selection of original tunes with an up beat bluesy flavour. I'm hoping to have it ready for sales this June/July so please watch this space.


  My debut CD "HERE AND NOW"  features Simon Purcell, Val Manix and Buster Birch. You can hear excerps from the album on the Sound Clips page. I have also included the musical notation for some of my compositions.
