Born in March 1972, he was interested in Music almost immediately. His parents could not get him to sleep unless the record player was on.

Although he grew up in the seventies and eighties, his early influences were from the 60's. Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison featured heavily in his childhood years. During his school years he listened to Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Phil Collins, Dire Straits and Doctor Feelgood.

 

During the mid to late eighties He formed a band with his two best friends Gavin Mitchell and Nathaniel Smith.  "SNAG" (Stu, Nat And Gav) performed cover versions of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and Doctor Feelgood's "Milk & Alcohol". Nat & Gav have since gone on to form the folk band "RESET PROSE".

 

Stuart has written many songs over the years and has quite a collection of home recordings. With hard work and determination from Nat Smith,  Stuart has recorded several CD's which are featured here on the Discography page.

 

Stuart and Nat have also made 4 music videos "THE ROSE", "CRYING AT THE THOUGHT OF YOU", "YOU CANNOT TRUST EMOTION ANYMORE" and "LIGHTS GO OUT ON BROADWAY" , the first three being filmed on location at Stuart's home and around Kempston, in Bedfordshire. The fourth filmed on location at the Hollywood Film theatre in Bury St Edmunds.
