I really wanted to be a drummer but my wife couldn’t stand the noise! So, I joined Coventry Hospital Radio in 2016! More to the point, it’s great to be able to entertain and help people going through a difficult time.

Music has always been a big part of my life: buying records in the late 1950’s – Elvis, Buddy, Chuck, Eddie et al. Then Cliff with “Move It”: we all wanted to be in a group – three guitars, drums and a singer! And then the best decades of music came along: the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Hey, it’s still exciting today.

I enjoy rock & pop, soul/R&B, classical, trad jazz (with a pint!) and country – in fact any music that gives me a ‘lift’.

I’m home-grown in Birmingham. I did play drums for a spell. Sensibly put career and family first. Now living quietly with my wife in Stratford-upon-Avon.
