I was
flattered to see a kind mention of the Chicanes here, schoolmate Kevin Connolly
got a drum kit and took me round to his house to see it. At that point, being
young and without fear (some might sat without a clue) we decided to form a
band. I didn't play any instrument at that time but ended up on bass which has
been my first instrument ever since. On leaving the band I joined The
Establishment, formerly The Stormbreakers from Nuneaton. Left Coventry 65/66
and lost touch. I’ve lived in Stratford for the last 20 years and am still
playing. From
