ABOUT

I'm the vocalist/bass player with Nottingham based rock/prog band Mild Panic. I'm an ageing rocker, born out of the 80's pub rock scene in Southend. Started life as a singer in a covers band at school but soon got the bug for bass guitar. I've played in a few originals bands, progressive rock, metal, even a psychedelic band for a time.

While Mild Panic is my main focus, I’ve recently had the honour of playing with Pete Jones’ Tiger Moth Tales supporting Magenta on their last UK tour. It’s given me valuable experience and increased my desire to pursue music as far as I can
