Instrument:
Keyboards/Vocals
Gear:
Korg SP200 Digital Piano & Roland VK-8 Organ which is a Hammond B3 clone (for all Santana/Procol Harem fans!).
I also have a Korg M1 synth and a Technics PC205 Digital
Piano mainly for studio/home use. Peavey amplification + Shure mic.
Background:
First band: I was thirteen. 1964 - 5 piece called 'The Reaction'. Mostly played youth clubs around the Clapham area.
Name changed to Switch. I'm still in touch with bassist Alan Camburn, Vocalist Peter French (Atomic Rooster/Leafhound), Mick Halls (Leafhound) but where are the others now? Colin Bass - harmonica/vocals, Chris Perry - drums, Jeff Cornhill - guitar and our manager Pete Barron, who also drove the van - the beaten-up Bedford. Played in Jade (with BackTrack drummer Ray) through the 70s and 80’s
Influences/Tastes:
Steely Dan, Santana, Squeeze, Chris Rea, Paul Carrack, Russ Conway
