and percussion.
Co-founder of Chalice and long time friend of Rob Pearce.

Developed a liking for modern jazz by the age of thirteen, and influenced by the many great players of the time. Played in numerous bands in and around Essex (anything from strict-tempo to hard rock),with no particular claim to fame, just the enjoyment of playing. Met Rob Pearce during the 70s when the seeds of Chalice were first sown. Admired for his ability to make sense of the various time and dynamic changes in the bands music. Equipment list:
