A likeable, charismatic front man and self taught vocalist with a tremendous natural ability. He comfortably engages the audience and commands the stage with his presence.

Over the years Widge has developed a truly powerful vocal style without forgetting the importance of feel and soul when required.He is always prepared to offer his own input to the songs and has a very keen ear for keeping things in tune (especially Pete and Rich’s G-strings!!!)

Taking the driving seat when it comes to the ‘booking’ side of things Widge keeps the band ‘diary’ in order and does the vast majority of communicating with people interested in what we can do for them.

His main musical influences are Freddie Mercury, Paul Rogers (who has ironically taken the reins as the vocalist for Queen in recent years), Luther Vandross and most importantly his mum RIP, who was a huge inspiration and a semi-pro singer in the sixties.

One of his lesser known talents is that of replicating guitar riffs and solos over the mic at rehearsals ??
