Hi everyone out there in Cyberspace!! I'm 54 years old (practically fossilised!), now living in beautiful rural Thailand.
I started singing from a very early age and first picked up a guitar at the age of 12. By the time I was fourteen I was playing the local pubs and clubs in the UK.
Went pro at the age of 24 - toured Norway, did a few stints in Germany and the Balearic Isles (Spain) and consider myself very lucky that people wanted to see me perform enough that I was able to make a living as a singer songwriter for the next 14 years touring the UK. Ok, so sometimes the people didn't have a choice - it was either me or nobody on the night but hey, the more they had to drink, the better I sounded and I always got away from my gigs alive - with my money - what more could I ask for??
I gave up the pro work in 1998 and if I'm honest I can't sing for toffee now but still, I got invited to perform at the Non Sang Cowboy Night Here in Thailand recently - and what a buzz it was to be back on a big stage performing in front of a 2000 strong crowd!
I'm still a keen songwriter when I get the chance and always have a recording studio of some kind wherever I live .....like to keep things fairly simple as you've probably guessed if you've listened to my stuff - though I do come up with more complicated arrangements on the odd occasion.......currently experimenting with a Boss Micro BR 4 track - awesome machine for it's size - however, have just clocked the 8 track version - the BR80 so I think an upgrade is on the cards very shortly..........
Though I write and perform in both pop and Country Genre's, I have to say that Country music is my passion - especially '90's Country.
One of my all time ambitions is to be able to perform one of my songs at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville - yeah, like that's ever gonna happen - think that boat sailed a long time ago!!
Anyhoo - hope you like my music and thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!
Take care,
Greg x
