Born in East London - a genuine Cockney boy! I started playing bass trombone in Dagenham Silver Band (Essex) in 1973 aged 10.Founder member of Becontree Brass Band (Essex) in 1981 as principal trombone. Moved onto Eb Bass in 1988 and had a ball as the Band rose to the top of the 1st Section in London & Southern Counties, playing at 9 National Brass Band Championship Finals along the way! Delighted to join the wonderful, welcoming and friendly Band that is Cockerton in 2019 after moving to North Yorkshire.
