For a musician, the instrument is their musical voice.

The guitar I choose to use for concerts or recordings has to produce all the tonal variation, volume range and musical finesse that I ask of it.

I love trying out guitars and have spent many happy hours in workshops ...

Both my parents are artists and have painted pictures all their lives.

While we were children in Menorca we had an art gallery and the sale of paintings was our living.

Recently someone sent me a couple of old photos of Dennis Milne and me playing together.

The images brought back old memories of the early 70s in London, both of us as students at the Royal Academy of Music and later as aspiring professionals, struggling to make a living.
