He is a singer and songwriter with a number of self-produced/financed/released CDs of original material.

He performs covers concerts in hospitals, care homes and hospices on behalf of the Music-in-Hospitals Trust. He also appears in pubs, bars and clubs and is bookable for private parties, weddings etc. to play covers, originals or a mixture of both.
