Experience Influences Disposition	I’m a keyboard player, based in Suffolk. I started gigging as one half of a duo over thirty years ago, in London. After moving to Suffolk in the eighties, I joined ‘The Price of Doughnuts’ which continued up to 2000 when I joined ‘Spooky’, a band with, at that time, a more jazzy edge. In 2005 I joined ‘The Travelling Raspberries’, the function band that I currently play and sing with. I mainly play piano, influenced by Russ Conway on one hand and Herbie Hancock on the other (but I can play with both hands). I also write in various styles, mostly instrumentals. Musical interests are wide ranging; I’m listening to jazz, folk, classical but also have a keen interest in latin american, bossa nova and the songs of Tom Jobim in particular. I’m a melodist by nature, having been exposed at an early age to great songs from the likes of George Gershwin and Ivor Novello, before rock ‘n’ roll came along. But rhythm and harmony are equally essential. Please listen to my mp3s to get a flavour of what I do.
