63 year-old Scouser now living in Norwich. Married with two grown-up children, two grandchildren, Myles, and Amelia.
Retired Civil Servant.
Take a look here: http://splinterliverpool.bravehost.com/ to see me in my early '70s rock band, Splinter, and also photos of the re-union gigs we have done since then the last one being at The Cavern in November 2006. The next one was at the Carling Academy in Liverpool on Friday 23rd November 2007.
I've also written several books on the Messerschmitt 110 (and the units that flew it), the Luftwaffe aircraft in WW2.

Hi John, sorry long time no Hi, just been too busy to log in lately. Just played your Cavern vid :)

"Well Chaps" are now defunct, it was just too hard trying to run a band playing all original material when two of them live over 50 miles apart!
Hope all is well with you and your family

If you want to see my old band playing 'Honky Tonk Women' at The Cavern in November 2006, then click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxOCksQUKbI
or copy and paste the link into your toolbar, as it appears not to be 'clickable'.
It was a great time getting back together with them again.

Hi John, well I know the PRS show was packed but I didn't see you... but I know your new grand-bab was due so hope you have some happy news?
I've just put up a new solo song this morning, called Maybe I, not very prolific am I, this one has taken two months to write, learn and record! Probably not your sort of thing, though you never know!

Hi, John, Thanks for adding me to your list! That 91 Les Paul sure is a nice looking guitar. I used to have a '68 Les Paul Custom but later switched Strat style guitars. Still sometimes miss the ol' Paul though. Cheers, Mauri.
