I’ve been involved with musical projects of one form or another since I started playing at the tail end of the 1980s. Each has played its part in a long and varied journey which continues to this day.
These chapters aren’t intended to be definitive histories of the bands and projects I’ve been part of and I didn’t want it to come across as a CV.
This is simply my attempt to gather my memories together and recognise the people, projects and experiences that have helped me grow along the way.
Everyone involved will have their own experiences, perspectives and stories to tell and I welcome any feedback.
I’m still making music and creating new memories but it has been interesting to look back at how I arrived here.
I think often, once you begin a musical project, it never truly ends. This section will therefore probably always remain an ongoing project.
