Jeff was brought up on a diet of The Beatles, Paul Weller, David Bowie and Bob Dylan, and music has been his passion from early childhood.
Since picking up a guitar as a teenager, he's played in a number of bands, all the time working on his own material and gradually improving as a musician and gaining confidence as a performer.

As he moved through life from Cardiff to Minneapolis, from Cambridge to London, he picked up a variety of musical influences such as Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Ron Sexsmith.

Then in 1999, he started playing his first solo performances. He soon teamed up with Matt Webb on lead guitar and they started doing acoustic gigs, mostly around London, and worked on recording a variety of original demo songs at Kite Studios in Cambridge under the expert direction of Roger Chatterton.

These songs contained a variety of themes ranging from mellow love songs to wider social concerns, from the light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek to the more thoughtful and introspective.

In autumn 2000, he teamed up with Faraway Tree to record two electric songs that formed the main songs of the Just Me Alone EP.

In 2003, he started recorded his debut album at James Clark's Sound-Board studios with an assorted assembly of musicians including Gareth Davies and Matt Webb. The sessions for the album were completed in October 2004, and is set for release in early 2005.
