I'd like to publicly announce  the release of Fantasy Bridge, my debut album.

A prog rock album for this century with its roots firmly in the tradition of keyboard based prog rock. The album's influences are clearly bands such as Yes, Genesis and ELP, but from these influences I have attempted to create something new and engaging. The album was mastered by World-renowned engineer and producer John Cornfield, whose cutting edge mastering techniques have delivered a beautiful and contemporary sound.

Fantasy Bridge was a labour of love, taking and reworking songs I had written over decades and combining them with new material. I have created what I hope is a modern homage to the music that has moved me since my teenage years. 

The project is a lifetime’s ambition that I brought to reality in response to a potentially life-threatening brush with Cancer. 

The 10 tracks are a celebration of life and love and describe worlds without frontiers, from the high fantasy of Children of a Forgotten Sun to the nostalgic reminiscences of childhood in A Day by the Sea. I have drawn on elements of electronica, classical orchestral music, and mainstream rock. Then using the power of the Internet he brought together musicians and contributors from the UK, USA, Norway and the Netherlands in a very special on-line collaboration.
