COUNTRY Music & nostalgia

Hello and welcome to my world and my web site which I hope you will find useful particularly if you are looking for an ageing singer who has been lucky enough to follow a dream.

Lifes changing circumstances eventually allowed me to become a full time singer/ entertainer and on January 15th 2005 I finally took the plunge into self employment. I have not taken a backward glance since.

Deciding what songs to sing was easy. Memories!!!

The more I remembered the more it became so obvious that county music has been a big influence on my life. I was born a country boy living on the Northamptonshire/Warwickshire borders until I was in my teens. The sounds of of country legends such as Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash and many others were often heard coming from our wireless. When I first heard Country Roads, I thought they were MY country roads and The Old Oak Tree that looked the same I saw as MY oak tree especially as I could see a big oak as I stepped off the train which in those pre Beeching days ran through our tiny hamlet.

Even today I live the songs I sing as I am still "A COUNTRY BOY BORN AND BRED".

Over the last four years I have been lucky enough to play in a variety of venues including Hotels, pubs, clubs, pubs , a chapel, a variety of church halls, caravan sites, showgrounds, market squares, country music clubs, a barn converted to a theatre and even some folks back gardens on gorgeous summer evenings.

I take non of this for granted as what better can a man wish for than to do what he loves best and get paid for it.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to sign my guest book to let me know that youhave been looking.

There's always a fire in the kitchen, always a kettle on the boil so stop by anytime, YOU ARE WELCOME
