    I’m very pleased to announce that I’ll playing a selections from moogmemory at the Howard Assembly Room, Leeds, June 24. This will be the FIRST TIME I’ll have played any of this material in what has now been my home town for TWENTY YEARS this year…

    After a chance meeting with the lovely Haushka at a show in Latvia in December 2015, I’m delighted to be sharing the stage with this respected piano master. Composer/electronic musician Tom Adams, will also be performing.

    SO, if you’re local, and fancy a blast of moogmemory before Tom and Haushka, grab yourself a ticket whilst you can…

    There’s still time to catch an exclusive moogmemory set on the BBC iPlayer. Recorded for BBC3’s Late Junction, in front of a lovely, welcoming crowd at The Great Escape Festival just a few weeks ago. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear me struggling with a brand new new piece: Dave.

  • Perrier Jazz Awards 2001 & The Electric Dr. M: Archival Footage

    I thought it was time to save some archive footage from VHS obscurity. Both of the following videos feature the same McDonalds / McSlavery / McProfits / McGarbage / McMurder large-size T-Shirt (which I still own).

    This is footage of where it all started for me, really; and features my first EVER interview…

    The following year I was asked to appear as part of Jazz on 3’s first ever ‘Adventures in Sound’, at London Jazz Festival. I asked if I could perform with a band I played in at the time; The Electric Dr. M, with drummers Dave Black & Sam Hobbs, bassist Riaan Vosloo and guitarist Chris Sharkey.

    This entire concert, which begins with a solo piano introduction, is the ONLY FOOTAGE IN EXISTENCE of this band, so sit back and enjoy the improv…

    I’ll be uploading more videos from the archive soon, so you might like to hit subscribe on my YouTube Channel to stay up to date.
