About Me

In the early 70's I predicted music would be bigger than football. How right I was, bands playing in football stadia, the birth of Arenas, etc. I have always been a fan of live music and throughout the years have seen or worked on some stonking live shows, from the Anarchy tour to Madonna at Wembley. I'm a ligger and don't care a hoot.

Most fun at a gig? Probably doing the YMCA dance at a live performance by The Village People on the Gary Glitter tour. Then meeting Greg Lake and discovering what a great bloke he is. I will forever trumpet bands like Stackridge, Spirogyra and Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin until I send you to sleep.

Met Diva International just after he/she won the Eurovision Song Contest. What a STRANGE weekend that was!

Vowed to stop attending gigs when I'm the oldest person present. So far so good but I have never been to a McFly gig...yet. Danny Jones is local boy made good and I have drunk a pint or two with his mum so it is only a matter of time.

I was born

In the 1950s

First Gig

I like to say my first concert was T.Rex at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. However the first gig as such was Picketywitch at the Bolton Navada(sic). Early 70's.

Beatles or Stones

Strange Fact

I have my name on the credits of the LP by Sandy McLelland and the Backline (1978ish) alongside Mark Knopfler and Sony/BMG boss Ged Doherty. All because of the Phonogram University Marketing Association initiative of David Bates.

Stop press: I have "special thanks" mention on the new CD by Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin *blushes*

I used to be mistaken for James Warren of Stackridge and Korgis fame. Still am with a hat on.

I have visited every Disney Theme Park in the world - all 11 of them. 11? Remember WDW counts as 4, Paris 2, etc.
