Coming soon a website for my new band the B-Sides - in the mean time check out the YouTube videos

The R21 Archive

A some what fragmented archive of a punk band that formed in 1976 in Erith. It made me what I am.
Click here for the R21 archive. If you have any information, recollections or pictures of the music scene in and around Erith in the late 70's please send them to me.

Click here for some web sites that I either like or find useful.

And see my photos on Flickr - I try and post new photos at least twice a week.
