A few words from some of Harry's acquaintances...

"Harry is an inspiration to anyone who ever wished to further themselves in anything, in my case music. He never stops pushing, looking, trying to find that progression of chords to compliment his ability to solo above the rhythm section..."
Clive Darrington, Musician and Lyricist, Leeds

"Harry has fitted into Blind Lemon seamlessly. We've overloaded him with new songs to learn and he's coped effortlessly and professionally with whatever we've thrown at him and within very tight deadlines. I'm delighted to have found someone else who shares the passion and dedication for playing and performing live music as much as I do. I look forward to a long and productive future"
Nick McCarthy, Guitarist with Blind Lemon, Worcester

"He has a remarkable ear"
David Makinson, Author, Bolton

"It was like you've always been there"
Mark Pearsall, Singer with Blind Lemon, Kidderminster

"Harry is a very accomplished musician"
Steve Collett, Vocalist with The Midnight Movers, Worcester

Biography

Get more information

Harry was born in Leeds, England, in 1962. He's a proud Yorkshireman!

Ever since the age of eight, when neighbours gave him a small acoustic guitar from their holiday in Spain, music has been in Harry's blood. They would be proud to know he still plays the guitar.

Harry was classically trained in the piano from the age of nine and the organ from the age of twelve (though that hasn't sent him blind).

From his mid to late teens he was part of a successful five-piece band playing pubs and working mens' clubs in the North of England; now that's a real hard apprenticeship!

Since then he has continued to play and write music in all kinds of environments and with all kinds of musicians around the world.

His influences include Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Shadows, Santana, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Oasis, Beethoven and Mozart (yes, you read it right), the Mavericks, Motown, much contemporary music and a whole range of eclectic musical styles. Just take a look at his CD collection and you'd see what that means!

In recent years he has been concentrating on songwriting and studio recording.

Harry has a remarkable ear (no, it's not stuck on) - he has the ability to listen to a piece of music and analyse it accurately without reference to the score, both in terms of key, chords and structure - quite remarkable really. Also, his playing is likely to get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck every now and again!

Harry was a member of the Worcester based Soul band The Midnight Movers from March 2006 through to May 2010 (and still deputises for them occasionally). He has also played keyboards with Muleskinner, Young Gifted Liars and The Whoo.

He joined the well known Kidderminster based band Blind Lemon in April 2010.

Most Wednesday nights he can be found contributing to the jam night at the local music haunt known as The Marr's Bar.

Harry also provides sound reinforcement for a number of bands in the West Midlands.
