Summer 1966
The summer of 1966 was spent at the Dolphin Bar and was primarily the inspiration for my song of the same name. One afternoon Jimmy and I were on the promenade and stopped by the upstairs entrance of the theatre. This was above the Dolphin and had become a little snack bar with a few machines in it. All I can remember about this photo is it seems like Eleanor Rigby was being played on the radio. Jimmy probably made the photo.
I'm a
singer/guitarist/Songwriter.
Originally I'm from Blackpool, England, but I now live at Lake Burton, Georgia and spend part of my time in Red River, New Mexico. I've played in rock bands, Irish showbands, cabaret, solo and recorded in some really cool studios such as Philips, Marble Arch, Decca, London and Omnisound in Nashville Tennessee. I love to write songs with historical meaning, about the environment, or just observations about life. I just completed my 4th, solo album. Soon there will be a second
English album.
