In 1965 he fronted the STORMSVILLE SHAKERS and had singles released on the Parlophone label The period 1965 and 66 were a high energy and raw commitment period from the band and the recordings from ’1965 & 1966′ are a fitting memory of that time.

Reviews
This eponymous album compiles all of the band's grand studio recordings and a trio of exuberant live numbers, 14 tracks in all, and twins it with the now reformed band's 2005 studio album, 'Ricky-Tick.

...this collection is the first comprehensive look at a great lost UK club band of the '60s...The first 14 trck on the CD come from the Shakers' mid-60s heyday with the remaining ten tracks coming froma 2005 reunion album...For anyone with even a passing appreciation of Alan Bown, Cliff Bennett or Moon's Train, this Stormsville Shakers collection will not disappoint

All told this is a sumptuous set, and a superb tribute to one of Britain's finest composers.
