Malcolm's first involvement with music began after he saw a guitar in a second hand shop window whilst out riding his motorbike in 1989, and bought it on a whim!

Having learned to play, he joined a band called 'Forgiven' as a guitarist in 1992.

This was followed by co-founding 'Crimson Scarlet', with Paul Preston in 2002.

As well as playing guitar and bass, Malcolm co-wrote songs, initially with Paul and later with Sarah-Jane (aka SJ) Johnson.

After Crimson Scarlet disbanded in 2008, he accompanied vocalist Lisa Jules on guitar performing covers and acoustic versions of his songs at local gigs.

A break from playing and songwriting ended in summer 2019 when Malcolm began writing new songs with vocalist/songwriter SJ Johnson and they formed Sable 097.
