I do some cheesy love songs, just ‘cos I like ‘em, when I perform solo, together with some bluesy stuff, plus of course, various "Beatles" numbers and 60s/70s classics!
with Siân Pedrick, Ceri Pedrick, David Pedrick, Grace Notes (Maggie Boyle, Lynda Hardcastle & Helen Hockenhull), Alan Rose, Joel Griffiths, Laurie Reader, Vicky Reader, Mike Hockenhull, David Gunn, Linda Gunn.
I sometimes support my good friend "Alan Rose", Acoustic Singer and Guitarist, at some of his gigs.

XMAS CAROLS
Around December time I sing Xmas Carols with "BACCApella", a vocal group of up to 30 harmony singers, on the streets of such places as Haworth and Grassington
(it's usually bloody freezing, but great fun!).

EQUIPMENT
I have a Black Ovation Electro Acoustic as the main guitar for my Acoustic Stuff.
I've been playing Gibson guitars through Marshall amps since the late 60s.
My main guitar is currently a White (now off white) Les Paul Studio model, which I've had for about 15 years and it's done about 1,000 gigs!!!
I use an ancient Boss multi-effects unit and at the last count, there were 8 guitars in the house, plus dozens of other musical instruments, including a piano that’s well out of tune!
*****************************************
A long time ago I was considered to be a pretty good guitarist!
If I didn’t smoke so much and could sing like "Paul Rodgers" (my vocal hero), maybe I would be famous!!!
