Worked with various acoustic and electric duos and bands for 30 years. First public performance age 5. First television appearance also age 5 on the Joe Loss Show. Joe and my parents were friends, having worked together for many years at a dance hall in Coventry. Joe and his singers, Larry, Ross and Rose were early influences on me, also Mum played piano and Dad was lead singer with a 'swing' style 'big' band during the war. Dad and his pal Chick liberated a piano in France during the war and it stayed with them until they were de-mobbed. Uncle Bill played piano in a band and 'Uncle George Nesdon' taught me to play piano when we lived in Hampshire.
