JANUARY 2012
The "PROG MILL" programme is going well and hopefully listening figures will grow week by week. The show features classic old prog rock such as Genesis, Pink Floyd and Yes along with many of the fantastic modern prog bands of today like Mostly Autumn, Magenta, Panic Room, Karnataka etc. Take a listen - Sunday nights 10pm-midnight UK time at www.staffordradio.com
CHRISTMAS 2011
I have recently returned from the Caribbean so will hopefully be adding some images of the beautiful exotic islands to the galleries very soon.
For me, 2012 looks to be another busy, but hopefully fulfilling year, with lots of radio committments but all being well time also for plenty of photography.
Thank you again for popping into the site and please continue to do so. A very Merry Christmas and may 2012 bring you much happiness and good health!
DECEMBER 2011
You can hear my new programme THE PROG MILL every Sunday between 10pm and Midnight UK time, playing the best of new and old progressive rock, on Staffordshire's newest radio station STAFFORD RADIO. www.staffordradio.com
NOVEMBER 2011
I am pleased to announce that I will be presenting a weekly 2 hour prog rock show (in addition to the shows I do for other radio stations). It will be broadcast Sunday evenings and will be starting very soon. www.staffordradio.com
GNOSALL GALLERY DELETED
I have deleted the gallery featuring shots of my home area of Gnosall to make room for new Greek images. However if anyone in my local area would like local shots (of any size), including properties, local scenes, countryside etc, then let me know.
I have had several enquiries about wedding and portrait work. Unfortunately I am not equipped to do that but can recommend several superb local photographers in the Staffordshire area if you need any help.
OCTOBER 2011
I have just returned from yet another Greek Odyssey, this time a repeat visit to the beautiful island of Kalymnos, in the Dodecanese. The colours, light and beauty of Greece never fail to inspire me. S'agapo Hellas!
SEPTEMBER 2011
I will be presenting a new 2 hour weekly progressive rock show on an internet radio station launching in the near future. More details coming soon.
LATE AUGUST 2011
It's been radio radio all the way for me recently but very soon I will be concentrating more on photography again with new material being added to the Greek collection, and also some more exotic location shots coming within the next few months.
AUGUST 2011
I was really pleased that Gnosall Parish Council chose one of my images for their promotional leaflet which was delivered to every house in the village to promote the recent GFest festival.
JULY 2011
It has been another busy month for my radio committments, but I am still working on some of my recent Greek images and look forward to adding to them in the Autumn.
Radiowise it is all happening in Stafford with no less than three internet based stations preparing to launch. I am not sure what my involvement will be with any of them at this stage due to other committments but will be watching developments with interest. One thing is sure, there will be additional ways to hear my shows in the near future, one may come from an unexpected source so watch this space!
JUNE 2011
Just back from another Greek trip, this time to the off the beaten track Fourni Islands, perfect for those who love the real Greece, and of course stunning scenery. I'll post just a sample of the many many images I have available on this website.
MARCH 2011
Spring for me started with a very sunny week on the beautiful North Devon coast, so I have a new range of images available from that area and will post a few sample shots on this site.
FEBRUARY 2011
Still very busy with radio work. I was also honoured to do the recorded voiceovers recently for the inaugural Staffordshire Volunteers Awards ceremony which was attended by hundreds of people. I have a lot of exciting trips planned for this year so hope to add to the range of images available, as well of course increasing the selection of local scenes.
LATE JANUARY 2011
I've been unable to add to the galleries over the past couple of weeks due to a) a less than fruitful week in Devon where the light remained grey and drizzly all week, and b) being very busy with radio and voiceover production work. I've completed a couple of voiceover projects for Staffordshire County Council, providing the recorded nominations for the forthcoming Staffordshire Volunteers Awards ceremony, and also producing a promo to promote the Carers Awards. Really hoping to produce some new images very soon!
NEW YEAR 2011
It's been a little quiet on the photography front this month due to very busy radio committments and also, of course the weather. More new images coming very soon! A very happy new year to all and may 2011 bring you much happiness and good health!
NOVEMBER 2010
I have just returned from a short trip to Limousin, the Lot and Dordogne Valley area of France and will be posting new shots from there in the latest images part of the gallery very soon.
THANK YOU to those who have recently ordered framed pictures from me. Your business is much appreciated!
OCTOBER 2010
I have just returned from the beautiful Cyclades, the most central of the Greek Islands and home to almost daily spectacular sunsets, some examples will be added to this site very soon.
AUGUST 2010
Just back from a short trip to the beautiful region of Limousin in central France, an area of medieval villages, deep river gorges and rolling countryside. New pics to come soon!
UPDATE 27 JUNE 2010
Just arrived back from a trip from the far north taking in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia and Estonia, followed by a mini break in Suffolk and Norfolk, so new photos coming soon!
JUNE 2010
It's been a little quiet on the photography front recently for me due to my expanding broadcasting committments, but I hope to add more images to the site very soon. Remember these are just a small sample of what is available so contact me if you dont see what you're looking for.

LOCAL RADIO IN STAFFORDSHIRE
We are still hopeful that the community radio project to get a true local radio station on FM up and running for Stafford will be revived in the future. Stafford is one of the largest towns in the UK remaining without its own full time FM radio station. This situation could develop further in the near future so watch this space for details.
