Between the ages of 16 and 26, I worked as a musician with various bands you've probably never heard of mostly in and around the area of St. Albans in Hertfordshire.
Here are some of them:
Clive Pig and the Hopeful Chinamen:

Sailor with a Telescope (Waldo's Records, Cassette, UK 1981)
Visions (Cassette, UK 1982)

The Whale Zoo (7" UK 1987)
Clive Pig went to live in Devon and carried on his career as a singer songwriter. He recently released a CD of songs for children called A Whale of a Tale.
The Tea Set:
Keep On Running (Modern Records 7" UK 1980) - produced by Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers.

The long lost Tea Set album, After Dinner Music, is now available to download at the iTunes store and on Amazon.co.uk.
I also contributed guitar to the following:

Various demos by The Wild Kitchen, The Wall of Folk and Huapango.
Two 12" singles were released from my solo LP The Great Indoors: The Master and Back in Time for Tea.
For 6 months I also worked on a project called She Sheriff with Macolm Mclaren, the less said about which, the better.
