I have been performing as a live musician since the 1980's including 4 years as the Guitarist with Dan Dares Dog, whose ground breaking material still sounds completely contemporary.

As Angryfish, I began developing, writing and performing my own material including; song, spoken-word and theatre in the nineties and I have been performing and inspiring others to create and perform ever since.

I have had my work included in BBC broadcasts, played worldwide and covered by other artists: I have written and performed various theatre pieces including a full length one man show comprising music, song poetry, spoken word and lyricism.

My work is now available through most digital platforms using the Artist name Angryfish, and my latest album ‘Black Thursday’ is a contemporary commentary of the life as I know it.

My aim is to make my music; impassioned and motivated; to be part of mainstream music.

Think Angryfish – Suspend Your Disbelief

When not creating and performing I have specialized in developing and running Empowerment through Creative Writing & Song, and in using my mobile digital recording studio to produce compilation works with course participants, and developing new and emerging artists.

I have achieved all of what I do by not allowing myself to be constrained by other people’s conceptions or perceptions of me.

I am an Artist, a Parent, and a Paralympic Gold medallist.
