My first involvement with playing music began after seeing a guitar in a second hand shop window whilst out riding my motorbike in 1989, and I bought it!
I taught myself to play and in 1992 I joined a band called Forgiven as a guitarist.
This was followed in 2002 by co-founding a band, Crimson Scarlet, with Paul Preston. As well as playing guitar and bass, I also wrote the music for Paul's lyrics.
After Paul left the band in 2005, Sarah-Jane Johnson joined as vocalist and we co-wrote songs.
Crimson Scarlet disbanded in 2008, and I began playing guitar in a duo, Jules & Journeaux, with vocalist Lisa Jules until 2010.
I took a break until 2019, when I co-founded a recording band, Sable 097, with Sarah-Jane Johnson. I played guitar and co-wrote songs.
