| Introduction | I'm a retired Rock-n-Roll musician, artist representative, music producer, photographer, and finally retired Soccer Talent Scout. I hail from Manchester where I was born in Hulme just before the second World War, 1937. I moved to Blackpool in 59 and eventually to Chicago where I lived for almost 14 years. I worked for more than 22 years in the music business as a musician and in management and production...I also worked as a photographer before returning to England and ending my working life as a Soccer Talent Scout. I now spend most of my time writing and still retain my interest in music and photography but only as a hobby. In my music business days I worked on Tours with...The McCoys - Shadows of Knight - The James Gang - Jose Feliciano - Neil Diamond - Jerry Lee Lewis - The Singers Unlimited - Green Lyte Sunday - The Buckinghams, Ike & Tina, Donovan, Mama's & Papa's, Sonny & Cher, Buffalo Springfield, and many more. |
