During my career I performed many shows for children at birthday parties, and in theatres. I developed a drama and personal development programme which was used by many schools around the world. I did lots of performances for the American military schools DODDS throughout Europe and as far as the Philippines.

2001 - 2004 Renovating and old farm house. I moved my family to a new location and a fabulous opportunity dropped from the sky. Many people were involved, they taught me to marry things I had learned into what I used to do and create something new. I opened a restaurant and there I sang and promoted concerts and entertainments. Then the real miracle happened Tom Paxton arrived back in my life and suddenly the puzzle snapped into shape. 

2005 I introduced Tom Paxton at one of his Farewell Shows in England, and released a CD 'My Passport Says Planet Earth'. Released the Album ‘Plus est en Vous’, without the book for Children with a new title 'Banana's'. A review of my performance at the Tom Paxton Concert appeared on the 'Folk & Roots' Web Site. Late in 2005 I introduced Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen in Concert. Cindy has sung on several of Tom Paxton's albums and Steve has written songs which have been sung by many famous performers. Steve and Cindy provided harmonies and guitar parts for one track of an Album 'I'm the Boy Who Played Tom Paxton's Guitar'. Steve also sang on the chorus of the title track. On 25th December 2005 Len Tucker contacted me, Len was my manager back in the 1970’s. Len also managed David McWilliams the writer of ’The Days of Pearly Spencer’. Len heard 'My Passport Says Planet Earth' advised me to get back in to the main stream of the music business. So we produced an album of songs by David McWilliams. 

2006 It took the whole of 2006 to produce 'The Extraordinary Songs of David McWilliams' and 'I'm the Boy Who Played Tom Paxton's Guitar' a total of 39 tracks. I then discovered that the music business had changed extraordinarily whilst I had been away.
