About this user

My music could possibly be described as melodic, anthemic pop...tinged with a dollop of melancholy.

But, for those of you who've not had the pleasure let me tell you a bit about myself and my weird and wonderful music career..............

Well, after a few years punking it up with eccentrics like Johnny Moped and the Damned somehow I found myself on Top Of The Pops singing a showtune from South Pacific... 'Happy Talk' it was called (how could you ever forget!) and nothing was ever the same again.

As a former toilet cleaner for Croydon Council I jumped head first into the glitz and glamour that was Top Of The Pops at the time and I became the most unlikely popstar in Britain.

After 2 albums of (even if I say so myself) classic synth-pop on A+M Records - 'Women an Captain's First' and 'The Power Of Love' I left to record more indie sounding guitar based records like 'Revolution Now' and my cosmic rock opera 'The Universe of Geoffrey Brown' which I'm rather proud of.

These days I still perform with that lovable bunch of rogues The Damned - who are playing better than ever currently....

STOP PRESS (and other cliches)

Cherry Red Records have remastered my two 80s synth pop albums and very good they sound too!
