Personal Profile
I was a prolific songwriter in my teens and twenties but I pursued a
career in education. That career sapped most of my energy and
creativity for more than thirty years and I stopped writing.
I am now writing music again, at the age of 60, in a variety of styles -
pop, folk, light orchestral and choral music. I intend to work hard and
be successful. I now have the time and I have a real passion. My
musical creativity has been dormant for a long time and is now ready
to flourish again. I have had some early success and have 2
published songs. I intend that many more will follow.

The guitar playing started in my early teens and I was told by a friend
that I was writing songs then. In my late teens I wrote songs with a
friend John from school and we used to regularly visit music
publishers in central London with no success - we came close once.
At University I became interested in folk music and ran the folk club
where I played regularly, eventually forming a group with a guitarist
friend Stuart and singer, Lynette. I wrote songs and they were
regularly performed.
Then came the reality of life at work. I continued to write songs up
until about 1980 and then for no apparent reason stopped. In the
early 80s I played for fun with some friends and again that stopped. I
always said that one day I would record my songs.
I produced an album of these songs in 2009
