Biography

After the infamous Brixton academy gig, he retreated to a small church in North Wales to write new material for his solo career.

In 1992 he held The Gathering, a weekend long gig held in his hometown Rhyl. The Gathering is now in it's 14th year in Llandudno (a bigger venue!). His first album ‘Breathe’ was an underground success. It was then that he was diagnosed with Non- Hodgkin’s Lymphatic Cancer. He kept this a secret from his fans and carried on with the tour. After the tour, he went back to his doctors and all were amazed to find his cancer had gone into recession. Fuelled by inspiration he wrote and recorded 'Regeneration’, a song full of vitality.

A second album 'Feel Free' was released in 1996.
