The current main gig is with Manatees, a
blues/soul/funk/jazz/rock outfit. Check out the band's website (button

2010, and I was gigging again regularly! This was quite a
departure for me from all my previous pro work, but hugely enjoyable - it was
with the Adam Palma Band, a classic rock
covers band.
My most recent main function band gig was
Galerie,
a quartet run by piano player Alan Shaw. Click on the link or the button at the foot
of this page to visit the band's webpage.
My own band Grapevine is also available for gigs and functions.
This band is a larger outfit available from 7 to 11-piece ensembles. Click on my

At Brownhills High School a few years ago, I have been working with some GCSE Music
students on their ensemble performances. Here is a picture of Jason P Wright and
Jacob Mills with myself, otherwise known as "The Demon Axe Warriors"! You
can listen to our GCSE practical performance ("The Scratch", originally recorded
by US band 'Surface Noise') by clicking on the CD below:
My little brother Will is a drummer, but spends most of his time
writing pop records and film scores. He has a most high-profile status
in these endeavours having been rejected by
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Walt Disney to name but three. May I
suggest that you visit his websites by clicking on the images below, and fill
his guestbook with convincing complimentary words.
Or we can think about when he achieved considerable fame,
when his comedy song & dance group The Showbears plundered their way to the
final of Britain's Got Talent 2012, and went viral worldwide on YouTube!
