ABOUT

I am in my 60’s still working in the arts, mostly tv but also theatre as a performer and director. I began as a singer songwriter and taught myself piano as a means to accompany myself singing. I played many gigs with various groups of musicians over the years professionally and for fun, but have lately returned to music as a serious pastime, developing my skills as a jazz pianist. I love to write songs and have many in my back catalogue as well as enjoying playing covers, Motown, Soul, Blues etc. I’m really looking for a group of like minded individuals to play and write with.
