The Story so far

MagicMan E.P.
After finishing Art college I embarked on an album debut with my school friends Alan and Linda Thompson under management contract with the Windings recording studio home to resident drummer Steve Washington of Take That fame and other work with artistes such as Lisa stansfield who sessioned on the album ‘Magicman E.P.’.

Getting there E.P. (MK Band)
After many happy years working and gigging with the band Redhill it finally split in the late 90`s. I endeavoured to carry on under the new name ‘The MK Band introducing Cookie Baker on keys and Jan Beck on drums who had worked with the band before and with artistes such as Jon Heismen. The resulting E.P. ‘Getting there’ was never released but the band had a very positive response from the community. Click the album cover to hear one of the tracks from the album








Life on a Hawaiian beach
After graduating from Harlech Music college, where I supported Amy Wadge (of ED Sheeran fame), and finishing my degree at Chester University I worked on and released the self produced album ‘Life on a Hawaiian beach, under the band name MK Ultra.The album is a collection of recordings made as and when the opportunities arose with many old friends and college friends appearing on the album. Many of the tracks were recorded in their entirety at my home near Denbigh and it is a personal journey of love lost and found and a journey of self, thru recovery notable examples would be the songs ‘Rosemary’ and ‘I`ll be gone.Click on the Album to buy on iTunes!








Coming home:
After reforming the band Redhill with my old friends Linda & Alan Thompson and some good friends of ours (Seftan Herman, Andy Durant, Alan Edwards, and Chris Godfrey we recorded a live album of one of our shows at our local theatre and continued to perform and record for a few years in and around the locality often joined by musicians such as Lee Davies and Terry Jackson and often performing with other great bands locally..Click on the Album to buy on iTunes!








Still got the blues
After Redhill kinda ran its course and everyone got on with more important things in life like family and work I set about trying to record my last album 'Still got the blues' from my front room. During this time, and recently, our band Redhill get together again for gigs ocassionally, mostly free, and it`s great that we can all keep in touch and can still have a great time performing for which I am very grateful.. As for the Album? Well it took a while working up old demos and writing new tracks... Linda kindly did some backing on some tracks and somehow I managed to put it together and the album was finished as Still got the Blues. I hope if you click on the image you might have a listen yourself? Or you can just stream some of the songs old and new from the music section of the site.. I must also thank my dear friend and guitarist David Stewart Jones who came up with an incredible solo on the track Pray...Click on the Album to buy on Sale!
