Gene Autry hat, checked shirt, and boots, he quickly learnt to play simple cowboy tunes which were popular at the time.

In later years while at Art school in the 60’s, he was smitten (and never recovered!) by the harp playing of Rice Millar and Little Walter. On the pretext of wanting to get a sun tan, during the summer months he took to the road, hitchhiking with a sleeping back thrown over his shoulder and beloved ‘moothy’ in his pocket, jamming with any guitar players he happen to come across on the beaches of the south coast. The first time he played amplified harmonica was with an Art school band in ‘67 which was when he also took up playing the guitar.

After a long break from the live music scene in order to concentrate and pursue his second love of painting, “W.H.” got back into the scene again when he met up with JJ Flying Fingers in the 80’s who approached him about joining a four piece Lincoln based band called ‘Dog Daze’. He performed with the band from 1989 until 2005 when tragically, the lead guitarist and singer Jeff Wood passed away.

Later in 2005, “W.H.” and JJ Flying Fingers met up with Christophe and Lord Robert on a summer evening in North Hykeham (south of Lincoln for those of you who are savvy with Lincoln) to see Muddy Water’s son perform live. The concert was memorable and likewise, the time spent since on the foot plate of the Train. The moothy is ‘cooking!’
