On and off, I've been 'performing' music one way or another for 25 years or so. I learned to play guitar (basic) at an early age, and the tenor banjo at the Irish Club in Portsmouth at their weekly session nights. Eventually, a few of us at the club formed a band called Clery's Clock, playing Irish stuff all along the South Coast. I also spent a couple of years gigging with my eldest son James, before retiring from public performances.
At the moment, I enjoy an occasional session at the Open Mic Night on Wednesday evenings at the Golden Lion, Bedhampton.
Below are a few surviving mp3 tracks from those happy days.
