I was born in 1950 to Bill & Kitty, we lived and still live in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

My father Bill was the pianist and leader of the Billy Clare dance band throughout the war years and well into the late 50's.

He bought me my first guitar when I was about 6. I fell in love with rock 'n' roll and left school at the age of 15 in order to pursue my musical dreams.

I proceeded to play with a host of local bands. I recorded my first record with one of these, It was a song written by Paul Raven (later to become Gary Glitter). The band was called "Banzai" and the song was titled "Get out of Bed".

I joined Pete Oakman and the band over 30 years ago.
As well as playing as The Bruvvers, Pete and I teamed up with legendary producer and song writer Roger Greenaway, who started life as one half of David & Jonathon, the other half being Roger Cook of Blue Mink fame.

We released a few singles under the name of "Harley Quinne".
One of the records "New Orleans" charted and we began  a brief career under this new name.

We were also very busy on the session circuit playing for a host of artists and over the years we have played and toured with the likes of :-
