About

Alan has been in the music industry for 4 decades!!!
He has played 1000’s of shows to 1000’s of people over the years. One highlight playing to over 15000 people NYE 1997 in Darwin. And has had the privileged to have worked with international acts as well as some of the best local talent around. And with radio and TV slots there isn’t much he hasn’t done.
For most of the early 1980’s Alan could be found playing in the well followed band, THE ACCOOSTIX. And when not performing, you could find him lugging PA’s for other artists and doing lights for bigger shows. Talk about learning the music industry!
The first recording Alan played on was in 1983. Two originals written by Alan. The song “All I Wanna Do”, received air play on 2JJJFm and 2MMMFm. Only twice on Triple M. lol
During the late 80’s & early 90’s the single PERPETUAL MOTION by MGR received some airplay on commercial radio. Alan has also been named in the book, “Who’s Who of Australian Rock!”
In the late 1990’s Alan started working in some cover bands /concept shows.

And all the time busy writing new material.
In 2011, Alan was asked to create a backing band for an up and coming new vocalist. She being Christina Parie from the Television show X-Factor. The band did some shows and recorded an awesome EP before she went on the show. Alan retired from the live circuit when the world turned to crap with the Covid outbreak. But retirement didn’t really sit well with Alan. So at the present time, Alan is doing some live shows in his new band SKYLARK and spending a lot of time in the recording studio working on Demo’s for an original album.
