The son of a dustman and seamstress, raised on a West London, council estate. After the briefest spell in Cornwall, Ginger laid his hat in Staffordshire England where he’s mostly lived since. 

Having worked in a wide range of jobs in construction, hospitality, transport, distribution, janitorial services, and education, he was also an employee rights activist, advocating for the guilty and representing the innocent at hearings and tribunals. Many of his songs draw upon these lived experiences.

A self-taught musician, Ginger started out playing in garage bands then busking in the UK and across Europe. After a performing hiatus, he returned playing covers as part of a charity fund raising events duo “Bash and Strum”. The collaboration culminating in the duo's debut album of original songs ‘Rendezvous’ released in 2014.  He had a further foray as a covers function duo ‘Rock Swings’ before stepping out as a solo artist, playing in bars, and festivals.

Gingers first foray as a solo performer included a crude setup with a Cajon (box drum) and bass pedal used to provide a basic rhythm. Keeping the performance 100% live with no looping was and still is his signature bare bones approach.

This approach evolved and Ginger built a custom Cajon with three bass drum pedals mounted inside the cajon. If you would like to know more about Ginger's  technical and instrumental journey click here.

As Ginger prepares to retire from the 9 to 5, treadmill he’s rediscovered his singer songwriting voice. He now writes, records, and plays his own songs regularly, busking and performing at festivals, new music venues, and appearing occasionally on live radio shows while also playing the odd covers gig here and there.
