“His tunes have been covered by artists such as June Tabor, Alex Campbell, Christy Moore, and used as the soundtracks of numerous musical plays.

“He joined with The Albion Band to provide the music for theatre productions Larkwise and The Passion, and worked with British musicians Peter Bond and Tim Laycock in an informal trio that continues to occasionally perform.

“As a founding member of British folk-rock band Home Service, he recorded three memorable albums, Doing the Inglish, Home Service, and Alright Jack, in the early 1980s.

“He recorded his fifth solo album, Winter With Flowers, shortly after returning to his homeland in the midlands.
