COVERS
Since the late seventies, I have been performing live covers of the most popular songs from the fifties to the present day. My repertoire of nearly 2,000 songs covers rock, pop, ballads, country, reggae, ska, punk and swing. Armed with just a guitar or, depending on the occasion, supported by backing tracks, I have always tried to stay true to the originals - except for the odd parody!
