His first novel, The Wrong Boy, was published in 2000, has been translated into fifteen languages and is currently being adapted for a major television series.
He wrote the lyrics and the score for Blood Brothers (in continuous production for the past twenty-odd years). Add to this the fact that he has provided the scores for the feature films Shirley Valentine, Dancin’ Thru The Dark and Mr Love as well as for the TV series Connie and the television play Terraces.
