He is a singer-songwriter and bass guitarist born in
Paisley, Scotland. In the late
1960s/early 1970s he was with The Poets who were produced by Paul Raven,
aka Gary Glitter, and in 1971 became a member of the of-shoot band Cody. In 1974 he became a co-founder of
the band Blue with Hugh Nicholson and Timi Donald and remained with them
until their disbandment in 1979.
They saw success with several tours and albums and broke into the
charts in the United States and the UK with their single "Gonna Capture
Your Heart", with the small addition of being produced and having backing
vocals and keyboards performed by Elton John. After Blue disbanded he went to live in Canada but is
still involved with the various Blues projects that he does with Hugh
Nicholson. He has also
released his own solo album called Paisley Boy and a series of short
stories.
