I started playing the organ at age 9 -
At age 11 my Dad asked me what I would like for my birthday. I said I would like
to play a concert, Dad arranged it and I played my first 2 hour concert to friends
and family -
Aged 13 I was now having weekly lessons with Andrew Gilbert, looking back it was a wonderful move by my Mum & Dad to have Andrew as my teacher. He taught me so much in those three years I was with him & I loved learning.
I started entering competitions in 1986, after winning the local YAMAHA event held in Worthing I was asked to compete in the National competition, which was held at The Library Theatre Solihull. Playing the Yamaha HS8, I won £125! which, at that age, was like winning the Lottery.
I then entered the Wersi competition, winning the local event. At that time, we didn't
know but the competition was going to go further, a week after winning I received
a call from Aura Sounds Purley, to ask if I would compete in the Wersi European finals
to be held at FRANKFURT -
At age 18 I purchased my YAMAHA HX-
I was proud to receive the Trophy for the first ever Keyboard/Organist of the Year
2003-
In May 2001 I married Louise, we have 4 boys, Charlie, Matthew, William & Lee. Louise ran a busy cake shop in Catterick Village for 12 years and now runs a very busy fruitcake business.
I travel with these wonderful cakes for my audience to purchase at all my concerts!
I am still travelling around the UK performing at clubs and societies and now organise weekend festival events with the assistance of my family.
