Music ...

... has been a passion since childhood. Classically trained to RSM Grade 7 at boarding school, keyboards have been the prime instrument on which I have both enjoyed playing and given pleasure to others. I prefer Roland e-pianos for their authentic piano sound and 'playability'. If I had the choice and the pocket money, I would always choose a Steinway grand piano. They're not the easiest to play, but the most rewarding !

Over the years I have played in various bands and in various styles:
- country music in England with Country Rythmn [sic] and in Germany with Wil Ripley's bands
- musicals as Musical Director with the American forces - 'Rock, Roll & Remember', 'Nine' etc.
- 'heavier' rock with the WsW (RIP)
and now 'lightweight' covers with the Toms and Jerries, an extremely talented group of experienced musicians based in Oberursel. We have a demo CD available if you would like hear our sound before booking us. Toms and Jerries website

Recently I have discovered the 'Fever Dance Club' in Wiesbaden-Biebrich where there is an open stage every Thursday night. There's a simple buffet as from around 8pm, and effectively a free concert after that going into the early hours. Come along and enjoy the music!
