I am a classically trained musician and in the seventies I had a rock band called Soulyard, in which I player the Bass. We had a sax player called Ruthie Smith who is now working as a psychotherapist, an American trumpeter called Jim Dvorak, a guitarist called Jonny Meringue (also American), a pianist called Laka Koc, a conga player called Linda Malone and a drummer called Nigel Watson. Laka, Ruthie and Linda went on to form a jazz band called "Guest Stars" who were very successful. I live in Edinburgh (in Scotland) and work as a pianist. I also wrote another series for the same company called "Rub-A-Dub-Dub", also played by Soulyard. Now I am 53 years old with a fifteen year old son who is a singer and a daughter who plays the harp. They both loved pigeon street when they were little. My wish is for the world to be a peaceful place.
