My Bio

Born late 1958 of Anglo german parents, I spent my early years in a small town north of  Hamburg, then in various army camps before moving to Great  Britain in 1968. My first sign of an interest in music was at the age  of 3, showing enthusiasm  (and dancing along to) Telstar by Joe  Meek. I admit to no memory of this, rather my mother told me  about it. My  parents were avid jazz fans, and at the age of 11 I  was  presented with a trombone, which almost put me  off music  completely. My enthusiasm was rekindled when a kindly neighbour gave me an old acoustic guitar. By then in my mid teens, I bought a second hand  record player from a friend. The first record I  bought was “Collected Organ Works Volume 1 by  J.S. Bach, shortly followed by Midnight Mushrooms  by Gryphon, and Hergest Ridge by Mike Oldfield.  Then, when I started at winchester school of art, I  spent my travel grant on my first electric guitar, and then hitchhiked to college for the rest of  the year. Whilst at art school I  played in a punk band  called the BA (The original guitarist had to  drop out because he shredded his fingers in  his enthusiasm), however I was thrown out  because I knew too many chords, and wore a woolly hat.  Subsequent bands had names such as Scavenger, the Gestalt, Big  Amongst Sheep, and Elidor. They all had one  thing in common, they rehearsed a lot and  never played any gigs. None lasted for more  than a few months. The next band, The  Morrigan was a different kettle of fish however.  In its 25 year history it played a lot of gigs,  including 2 stints at Glastonbury in the 90’s,  and released five  well received  albums. In the end  the band did not  break up, rather it  retired, and might  yet crawl out of the  woodwork. I released my first solo album in 2001, ” Isle of Eight,” followed by “The Mad Monk and the  Mountain,”  “The Southern Cross,”  and now “The Anvil of the North.”  When not musicing I  can be seen pushing a lawn mower up and down at a local school.  In the last 10 years I have become interested in computer animation and games, including  games music, and have  been using what I have learned, to make my own music videos.

Another long break I have developed a love hate relationship with social media, and tend to spend a long time away from it. Then time comes and I give it another go. before I get fed up and vanish again. So here goes one more time.

I can't believe how long it actually has been since I made my last journal entry here. A lot of water has flown under the bridge, and and that goes for all of us. I have to admit I have rather fallen out of love with the use of social media. It seems to be a Pandora's Box a Good and Evil. however especially since the onset of the pandemic, it seems to be the only way that it is possible to communicate with people outside of your own home. So here I am, even older than I was when I was here before, but willing to give it one more try.

I've had a somewhat eventful month. It started with going to the funeral of a long time friend, continued with me getting needlessly upset about the EU referendum, and finished with me doing an in depth interview for Digital Art Live, an American onl...
