ABOUT

Been making music on the guitar since I was nine years old. Had my first band in year eight at High School. Started playing in pubs at age 16. On and off, I have played music semi-professionally in bands and with friends for over 50 years!

Nowadays I am retired from the world of work and music is my passion.

So, I am looking to jam with like-minded folks for the fun of it or join a band to do a gig or two.

I live in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and have all the equipment I need to hold up my end of the deal. I can also hack out a few numbers on vocals too.

Hopefully you will get in touch at nightlifebandoptusnet.com.au

You may be wondering why I have uploaded so many tracks.

Basically, I needed a place to put them so friends and family can listen to my tributes to the artists that have inspired me over the years. Also, on a few tracks, musician friends have contributed “virtually” to the tracks so I needed a place where they could listen to the finished product. Anyway, listen to as many or as few as you like. Thanks for stopping by!
