Unfortunately, since living and working in Spain I do not have time to keep this blog up to date. I have left it on my website so that you can see what I used to get up to before I left school.

April 29th 2014	Back in the UK after a successful Easter entertaining in Spain. Now just my final A-Level exams to get out of the way then I will be back in Spain from July for two to five months. I will be in many cabaret bars but in particular Uncle Ped’s, Shooters Bar, Rock and Roll House, Tommys Bar and others.
March 8th 2014	Spain – Benidorm I will be back in Benidorm again for Easter from 14th April until 23rd April 2014, performing in many Cabaret Bars. Watch out for me if you are there.
January 25th 2014	Had a blast at my 18th birthday party with special guest Asa Elliot from the TV sitcom “Benidorm” who came especially to se me perform! Thanks Asa.
January 2014	I would like to form a pure Rockabilly/Rock and Roll band in the style of the original 50’s bands something like the Old School Rockers I play with in Spain in my videos. I am looking for R&R guitarist, R&R double bass and drums and also a male voice may be needed from the instrumentalists for some vocals – maybe 50/50. Of course, I will be on Piano Jerry Lee Lewis style.
November 2013	The Cabeytú Brothers from Benidorm are visiting the UK with a tour of North England and Scotland. They will be in Runcorn on December 2nd and I have been chosen as a support act for them. Very exciting for me. If you want a ticket you can buy via the link on my home page.
October 2013	Spain – Benidorm I was in Benidorm again in October (2013), performing in many Cabaret Bars on most evenings and also daytime at El Cisne Rastro Jazz Market. But this time I also performed my own solo act at at Heartbreak Gerona.
24th August 2013	I am now back in the UK following a successful “tour” in Benidorm. Apart from performing at some new venues, I was invited to perform with a 50’s style Rock ‘n’ Roll band from Murcia called “The Old School Rockers”. There is a video of some of the show on my videos page. Needless to say, I really enjoyed playing with them and hope to have another opportunity to do so in the future.
15th July 2013	Spain – Benidorm I will be in Benidorm again in August (2013), performing in many Cabaret Bars on most evenings and also daytime at El Cisne Rastro Jazz Market. Watch out for me at Western Saloon, Heartbreak Hotel (Levante Beach), Heartbreak Tavern (Calle Gerona), The Rock and Roll House and others. You may also see me at some new venues including The Secret Fountain and Uncle Ped’s.
3rd July 2013	Since my last entry I have been busy performing around Merseyside including part of a variety show in front of a sell out audience at The Floral Pavilion Theatre, New Brighton. Now I am back in the LiverpoolONE Piano Festival throughout July then off to sunny Spain (Benidorm) for a few weeks performing around the cabaret bars. If you will be there, come and say hi.
2nd April 2013	I have been booked as one of the headline artists at a festival of street culture in Leeds called “Amazing Graze” at an amazing and unique community venue called the Left Bank in Leeds. I will be performing on stage at 9pm on Friday 5th of April. I will be performing my own arrangements of Rockabilly/Blues music by some of the 50’s and 60’s greatest artists including Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and more. Additionally, I will be performing my own arrangements of some later music such as music originally by Billy Joel, Van Morrison and others. I will also be performing my latest arrangement which is a Pink Floyd number but as a piano solo now has a classical flavour. I hope that you will enjoy it along with the many other music artists, food and beer that will be available over this 2 day event. There is music throughout the 2 days starting at 5pm on the Friday until midnight and it goes on from noon till midnight on Saturday…
21st February 2013	2013 has started well for me. I have been playing at many venues around Runcorn plus others around Liverpool and The Wirral. I am still playing with the band Coulrophobia but I am also performing my own solo act too. Liverpool ONE invited me to entertain shoppers for them on Valentines day and I have been invited to perform at some private functions too. In April I will be performing in Leeds which will be my first UK venue away from the Merseyside region. Watch my performance dates page for details. I may be returning to Spain to perform during the summer – it’s not definite yet but if I do it will be for a longer period than before, probably 5 or 6 weeks. So watch this space!!!!
1st January 2013	2012 was a good year – I was back in Benidorm, Spain in both July and October. You may have seen me performing at some of the venues such as El Cisne Rastro, the Western Saloon, 3 of the Heartbreak Hotel venues, The Rock and Roll House and The White Horse Family Pub. In the UK I was playing at the LIVERPOOL ONE Piano Festival in August and September and since October I have been appearing at venues around Runcorn, Liverpool and on The Wirral as a guest with the band Coulrophobia. I have been performing my solo act and also joining the band for the second half of their show. Check out my performances in the video below and also on the Video page.
26th August 2012	On Sunday, August 26th, I took part in a Celebration of Liverpool’s Spontaneous Street Culture on the 1st day of the Mathew Street Festival. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions I was unable to perform on the 2nd day. I would like to thank everyone who saw me for your generosity. Here is a video of some of the performance – perhaps you are in it…….
