I spent the first 50 years in London, 30 of them in the London Fire Brigade. In those (good old) days the L.F.B. had a military band of which I was a member. We gave concerts at most of the outdoor venues in London, such as the Royal Parks, St. Paul's steps, Finsbury Circus gardens, Embankment gardens and indoors at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Royal Festival Hall. Quite often I would be playing my baritone sax in a lunchtime engagement, and then driving a fire appliance on a night shift at the fire station. On my retirement in 1980, I moved to Devon with my wife and our two sons. In 1992 my interest in music was rekindled on hearing the Exmouth Town Concert Band on a visit to the seaside. Since then I have played with several local bands, but confine my musical activities to just two. The Exmouth Town Concert Band (Alto sax) and Taunton Concert Band (Baritone sax).
