Today I would say that Im more of a songwriter than a performer, although I do sing with a sixties rock and roll band in Denmark where I have been living since 1985. I was born i London but grew up in Lancashire somewhere between Liverpool and Manchester. I served my apprenticeship as a musician/singer in the Working Mens Clubs of Britain. Later I had a humble success with a band called Silhouette which involved touring the most of western Europe. Today I live with my wonderful wife, Trine on the island of Sjælland in Denmark (about an hours drive from Copenhagen) Please listen to my and feel free to comment.

Lyrics

Well you think I´ve got the answers 
Hell, I don´t even understand your questions.
And you treat me like a guru
Even though I´m really open for suggestions.
And you pu  me on a pedestal
And you think I´m gonna make your lives alright,
But my only true solution, is not a revolution
But the company of Jack Daniels every night.

Been on the road forever
Burnt my hands when I tried to catch the sun.
Poured my heart out to the roadies
And I´ve played with every superstar and bum.
But the roads keep getting longer                                                                        
And  the  crowds  all  seem  to  start  to  look  the  same.
My  life,  the  Main  Attraction,  gives  no  longer  satisfaction
Hell,  next  year  you  won´t  even  know  my  name.
              
Don´t play my songs on the radio
Don´t make my words the path you go.
Don´t you believe what the papers say
Tear down my posters and throw them away!

So I´ll pack away my guitar
And I´ll put on my patent leather shoes,
´Cos I´m tired of playing rock `n´ roll
When my heart only wants to sing the blues.
Gonna move out to the country
Buy a horse and maybe try to settle down.
´Cos the drugs and exaltations, can´t be paid by revelations
When the vacant eyes of nightmares come around.
