About me
I have been a musician and composer all my life.. I'm most know globally for writing the most performed studied and recorded tuned percussion piece of all time and counting "Blues For Gilbert" hundreds of performances on Youtube with thousands of hits..Also for my long term (35 years now) collaboration with the Actor writer Steven Berkoff",... where I create and perform a live score to his productions. Just before lockdown we played to sold out houses at the Arcola Theatre with his he monologue "They Shall Not Pass".. the battle of cable street..So I am widely known for the above not my singer songwriter stuff... however that all changed after a dramatic turning point in my life when I had a breakdown and withdrew fro 7 1/2 years in the most extreme way...
When my recovery finally began in the summer of 2017 I started to process what had happened to me by creating what is now my autobiographical solo musical called 1 L.I.F.E .. which has 14 songs in it soundscapes voice overs as well as my singing/piano playing, I play vibes and percussion and run Logic live... I am working with another long term friend in Caroline Noh who hails from your part of the world .. Leeds. She is a director. We are gradually pulling it all together over the next couple of months leading to a showcase of part of it...
