This was an 80's cover band with established gigs in Hobart. I filled in every now and then, when their keyboard player was unavailable. Didn't last very long. Kinda waste of my time.

Not strictly a band, more a state of mind. I spent over 10 years away from any hint of music. Instead I went to Uni, learned a new profession, and established a new career for myself programming computers.

During this time I played a little piano, and learned the bass guitar. I also jammed with a bunch of other musicians, but never in public.

This band specialized in 70's disco covers, featured a blonde bombshell lead singer, and a sense of style ... locked in time.

Despite the dodgy name, this was the first time I worked in a musical project unrelated to Dr Fink or ancestors. The musicians I worked with were amongst the best I played with.

Fink was the original band spin-off of Dr Fink, and was born when MC entered a demo into a band competition. Attempting the near impossible, the cover band paid bills, the original band didn't.

This band has been actively gigging around Tasmania and Victoria for over 17 years. This project started in the ashes of a tour with the Blues Bros, and dictated my lifestyle for over 6 years.

I completed one tour of duty with this Australian pub rock institution. After three months of arduous work, I returned to Hobart to start work with MC on Dr Fink.

Also known as Stynes Legends, this was the very first incarnation of this show band, covering Blues Brothers, Alice Cooper, Joe Cocker, Status Quo, Ac/Dc, amongst others. This band lasted a bit over a year before we all joined Styne on a Blues Brothers tour (something he had been doing for many years).

This was a short lived project with MC and TH, featuring sequencers and electronic drums ... an experiment with MIDI.

The first band I did regular gigs with, and the foundation for over a decade of cover bands.
