Around 1970 he was a member of the bands Dream Police and The Poets and from 1975 to 1977 was a member of the chart-topping group Marmalade.
In 1977 he joined Blue in their new line-up and performed on their only chart single “Gonna Capture Your Heart” which was a No. 18 hit in the UK and reached No. 88 on the Billboard chart in the US, with their production, keyboards and backing vocals being provided by Elton John on his Rocket Label. He would also appear on the albums Another Night Time Flight, Fools Party and Country Blue.
After the band relocated to Los Angeles following the unsuccessful release of Fools Party he went back to re-join Marmalade in 1980 when he performed on the US release Marmalade. He remained with Marmalade until 1982 and then returned again to perform with the band from 1989 to 1998.
