Stan Britt (Author of The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Jazz and Frank Sinatra - A Tribute) kindly wrote of my playing:

Playing with Tal Farlow (guitar) in 1985 |
And Jack Massarik, the Jazz critic for the London Evening Standard, once described me as “a committedly soulful player.”
I don’t play as much as I used to but on the odd, rare occasional, you can find me playing bass in the house trio (with Chris Ingham, piano and George Double, drums) at the Hunter Club, Bury St Edmunds. Here’s what some folk have said about us:
“Like being driven around in a Rolls Royce”—Art Themen
“It doesn’t get any better than this”—Enrico Tomasso
“Like having my own guys with me”—Peter King
“A Rolls-Royce rhythm section”—Mark Crooks
“Great trio and, more importantly, quite co-operative”—Alan Barnes
