Doc Mustard

I was born near Matlock in Derbyshire, UK. I was brought

up in a pub called The Horse Shoe and though I ain't

superstitious, the song "Born under a Bad Sign" springs

to mind. At the age of nine I was sent to boarding

School in Gt Crosby, Liverpool. Overall it was quite a

traumatic experience which is why I left of my own

accord aged sixteen. I left Matlock as a bass player in

a rock band formerly known as the Doughnut Band and

moved to Coventry. I played in top Coventry bands as

bassist in "Hot Snacks" and keyboards in "The Ring" not

forgetting of course Doc Mustard and the Cobalt Kids. I

won an award in the original lyric category of a

national music competition in 1990. I didn't want to end

my days in Coventry so in 1991 I moved to West Cornwall

where I now write and record my own songs.
