Biography. He spent his childhood in Hiroshima and elsewhere outside the UK. He began playing the drums at the age of 18 after returning to England. Joined Bournemouth's band Shy Limbs. He recorded for the first time in autumn 1968, and 9 May 1969 was his record debut. After drumming for Manfred Mann in early 1970, he  became Michael Giles' replacement in King Crimson. He appeared on just one King Crimson album, the jazz-influenced "Lizard", released in 1970. He joined Greenslade at its inception in 1972, remaining with them until their dissolution in 1976. He then guested on several releases, including "Opus One" with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, before leaving the music business. Despite at the time being referred to in "The Guardian" as being one of the most skillful and inventive drummers working anywhere in the jazz or rock spectrum, he left to become more involved with his other love, sailing. As an RYA Yachtmaster  instructor he skippered and taught on several yachts around Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, France, Spain, Lebanon and Antigua. He now charters his own yachts around the Greek Islands in the summer season, as well as teaching, skippering and examining.
