"My first gig was The Bert Narborro Big Band around 1975 but within the band there was a smaller group that played weekends so I so got into that the were called The 3 Aces. I then joined a band called Astro permanently in 1977 until late 1979 when I play at a school gig with band called Medusa. I was spotted by some slightly older lads Danial Dawgard, Barry Cooper, Kevin Mardel & Andrew Horstead we were call Atlas! I also played a lot of dep gigs with all sorts of bands, then Atlas slowly turned into Preacher and finally Stripes. Then around1992ish I started Jam with Butty which lasted 16 years. I think you know the rest of my story..." CB 18/02/2021
