I first played with Ali back in the 90’s and am delighted to be reunited for this project creating our own reinventions of Jazz Standards. Dominic Treacher has been my bass player of choice for several years and we are all enjoying having the wonderful sensitive drum work of Ric Byer. We have been trying out a few things at our Bay Horse Jam session but get our first formal band gig at The Oak Rooms in Tiverton on March 2nd. We are also looking for venues in the North Devon and Cornwall area for some more intimate duo work.

Afrobeat band forming.
The wonderful Bass player Barry Cohen invited me to be part of the Devon Afrobeat Collective as musical director and keyboard player. 2 Rehearsals down the line and we are starting to think about gigs.
Our starting point is a handful of Fela Kuti numbers and we are working out from there. Watch out for us in your neighbourhood soon.
