ABOUT

I'm in two tributes - Marillion and Blondie!

I'm an experienced Soul & Motown specialist with 300+ gig-ready song repertoire in the Soul/Motown/Disco/R&B/Pop area, and a Ska/Reggae/2Tone specialist with 125+ gig-ready songs - and also 300+ popular songs of multiple genres can be made gig-ready at short notice / also gig-ready full Tribute Set Lists of songs by Marillion, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Madness, Amy Winehouse, Blondie / and am also proficient in other genres Disco, Funk, R&B, Rock, Pop, Ska, Reggae, 2Tone, Rocksteady, Swing, Alternative, Prog, Punk, Blues.

Young at heart, despite being now over 60 and in semi-retirement, you will find I'm very reliable, committed, dedicated, passionate, flexible, easy to work with, a quick learner of new songs. I like being wireless and moving around the stage a bit for the odd song!
