Career

From a musical family, classically trained in childhood as a violinist and vocalist, he organised his London singing lessons to coincide with attending rock and R&B gigs at the Marquee Club.[1]Шаблон:Unreliable source? He began playing career in 1971 with Jug-Folk band Totem. He joined Decameron in 1973 following the release of their debut album 'Say Hello to the Band', initially as bassist, vocalist and fiddle player but later as a guitarist. On Decameron's demise in 1976 he opened the Millstream Recording Studio in Cheltenham. He joined Pekoe Orange in 1978 but shortly after that auditioned for Steve Hackett's new touring band, which he subsequently joined,[2] recording the studio albums Spectral Mornings and Defector. Millstream Recording Studio was the first customer for an SL 4000 A Series Solid State Logic console (serial number 4KA010).[3] In 1980 Cadbury and Decameron lyricist Dave Bell formed the jingle company Orijingles and a retro pub band The Teenage Idols to showcase their songwriting talents, and in 1983 teamed up with former Manfred Mann singer Mike d'Abo to form society party band Mike d'Abo's Mighty Quintet, still performing today. Also joined international party band Top Catz as guitarist and MD. Following Millstream’s closure in 1989, he branched out into voiceover work, photographic modelling and acting, dying in an episode of the BBC's Dalziel and Pascoe.[4] He continues to write with Pete Hicks and Dave Bell as well as in his own right, occasionally performing solo. He has recorded and performed with numerous artists, including The Manfreds, Steve Ashley, Marcus Foster, The Dave Harper Band and many others.
