A Fellow student in Liverpool School of Art, he did artworks for the mid 1970's Liverpool influential band Deaf School.

When Ambrose Reynolds joined by mid-to-late 1977, he was placed on backing vocals, but quit around December. The only released Big In Japan recording in which he participated was "[...] A Go Go", featured on the From Y to Z and Never Again'' EP, released in 1978.
