I was born and reared in Portrush – a seaside town on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. Many years ago, when I was at primary school my mother suggested to my younger sister that she should take piano lessons. My sister, who apparently was not particularly interested in doing so, began the lessons. I…
I get great pleasure in reinterpreting the meaning of some lyrics. For example, the lovely tune entitled ‘The Wind Beneath My Wings’ which the sheet music states it is from the soundtrack of the film entitled ‘Beaches’.

‘Ramblings from Home’ I remember my father’s grey column change Bedford Dormobile van swinging into Stonebridge Road one evening after his long day’s work at the council tip. You see, the song ‘My old man’s a Dustman’ has a very special connotation to me because my father drove the Bulldozer at the local landfill site,…

It was discovered from an early age that I had a ‘musical’ ability which was fostered by my Parents, by finding me a local Piano teacher (in Bradford, West Yorkshire) near where we lived.
