"What kind of music can I do?" The answer is

"MORE VARIETY THAN YOU'VE EVER HEARD ANYWHERE FROM JUST ONE MUSICIAN"

...including a few 90s & 80s, lots of 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s, Edwardian, Victorian, Music Hall, Traditional, Folk, Old Time, Ballroom, Latin American, Rock, Blues, & especially Ballads, plus a few Classical and Opera themes, & even some Hymns & Carols if required. Solo instruments and/or vocals, or with backings, or duos, trios, quartets, etc..

This DEMO track has me playing piano, organ, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass. The drums are electronic, I'm no great drummer! I have been making music since the fifties, and gigging since the Shadows and Beatles era of the sixties, beginning with the college "Beat Group". I was brought up in a family where making music was almost as natural as breathing, and there were no pieces of paper, or discussions of notes, keys or scales, etc.. It was all about listening, and making sounds! (Theory came later.)

A few years later, while on holiday, we heard recordings of an organist, and Dad explained that as well as two or more keyboards, there was also a pedal keyboard, which enabled the organist to play bass parts with his feet. Listening, I was surprised to find that I understood exactly what was being played: I soon began playing electronic organ myself, and worked as an organ salesman / demonstrator.

In the course of my other work with pianos, I gradually spent more time playing piano, and here is this month's sample of my original PIANO PIECES.
A CD is available but it is not studio quality, hence the price £5 including postage. (Payments as above.)

A few years ago, I played guitar and bass on David Wright's album "Walking With Ghosts", which was voted "Synth Album Of The Year", and we also did a benefit concert in aid of the Fisher Theatre, Bungay, Suffolk in November 2006.

The Sunday afternoon gigs at The Welcome pub in Lowestoft were great fun, because nobody ever knew which instruments I would turn up with, or what sort of music they would hear, but although the regulars certainly seemed to appreciate it, the venue was not really big enough to justify the budget so, sadly, it ended after an enjoyable year-and-a-half.

This is part of the write-up in the Lowestoft Journal for my playing at the opening night of the Casa Mia piano bar in Southwold, the beautifully re-vamped Dutch Barn restaurant.

I now have regular work providing relaxing piano music for restaurants such as the one at the Cliff Hotel, Gorleston, but I am always glad of opportunities to pursue a more energetic multi-instrumental entertainment featuring piano, organ, synthesizer, guitars, banjos, glockenspiel, mandolin and vocals, pre-recording my own backings where appropriate.
