The 2022 Update
What interesting times… if this isn’t a test of adaptability, what is? So many changes, so many challenges. We’ve all had to alter bits and pieces of our lives. I’ll share with you some of my own experience. Not being much of a gambling man (with the exception of my musical adventures), I’ve been keeping […]
The Missing Categories Are Here!
A short while ago, this website was hacked (no real damage done, and no malware was permitted to be installed). Needless to say, this was not fun. In rectifying the various plug-ins, some of which were out-of-date, we lost a sidebar which directed visitors to various “categories” of posts. Until we can get this cleared […]
The January Show

The Guitarist Columns
In late 2015, I was asked by Guitarist Magazine to pen a monthly column for their publication. The remit was simply “write about whatever strikes your fancy”. My kind of assignment!

The Autumn 2015 Update

Caveat Emptor
Let the buyer beware. It has been brought to my attention that I am being advertised in certain Music Festivals that I am not going to be performing in. If you see “Maxi Jazz & The E-Type Boys Featuring Elliott Randall” – please know that that this is misleading, deceitful, and I ain’t gonna be […]
