I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played

It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce

I play the piano a lot at home, I write songs on the piano and guitar. I would like to actually play piano on stage... I don't think I'll get the chance for a while.

I certainly want to get back to the US to play. It's such a big country. I've always liked playing there, and enjoyed living there. I lived in New York, LA, and Florida.

It's frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It's only now that it's being released

I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. ...both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.

The most important thing is to follow your instinct and get involved with some friends who have similar taste and aspirations and like music as much as you do.
