About

Skidders plays acoustic guitar with Sammi in the acoustic duo Bukechi and electric, acoustic & bass guitar as a session musician for various artists, such as Malcolm Evans, Nathan Bennett and NaTasha. He also plays blues harp, keyboards and percussion. Co-writing songs with Sammi for Bukechi, he also writes his own songs, which can be heard on this site and www.skiddersmusic.co.uk - Skidders has also played alongside Dexys Midnight Runners' Kevin Rowland.

Remembering the Beatles' era (yes Skidders is old, but not looking too bad), his first musical memories were of "Diamonds" and "Scarlet O'Hara" by Jet Atkins and Tony Meehan. Then of course, there was the Shadows. Skidders still owns both those singles of Jet & Tony not to mention a few Shadows 45's.

"I've been to many concerts in my time - Santana, Pink Floyd, TYA, Rory Gallagher - you name them", said Skidders.
"But the one that stood out overall of them, was Hank Marvin at the Royal Spa theatre in Leamington. It was so emotional and showed me exactly where my musical roots are".

Skidders' taste and influence, as can be heard in his music, is far more diverse and includes others:-

60's, 70's, 80's, & 90's music (he's lived through them all and now the 00's!)
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Ten Years After
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Eric Clapton
Santana
Robben Ford
KT Tunstall and more ...

19th August 2007, Skidders released his first music-chart single, Baggies Battle Cry; 16th March 2008, re-release Baggies Battle Cry with vocals
