Highlights last year included concerts for Ferrari, Portugal and Thomson Gold Hotels. I also shared a couple of stages with Coronation Streets' Richard Fleeshman and Kym Marsh I have shared stages with probably all the 60s name bands left on tours and festivals. The biggest gig was Clumba Park in the summer of 1999 to some 15000 people for the National Trust. We went on at midnight. Seeing all the lighters in the distance when we played Groovy Kind of Love was not to be missed.
In 1997 I
played for Peter Noone (Herman from Hermans
Hermits) doing 78 gigs. Not having a set list to
rehearse, I learned the whole back catalogue including
harmonies just in case! On the same tour I played for
Dave Berry (The Crying Game). Gerry and The
Pacemakers were also on the bill. Later I "depped"
for Hermans Hermits in the UK courtesy of
Barry Whitwam.

with The Hollies' former bass player Bernie
Calvert Bullseye's Jim
Bowen who I worked alongside on the
QE2 also featured on the bill.
