Mark has been synonymous with music for most of my life. We first made music together in Penclawdd Junior School around 1967, continuing through Gowerton School and the Glamorgan and West Glam. County Youth Orchestras. Mark was also a kindred spirit as I began exploring jazz during my teens, and in more recent years continued to be encouraging and supportive of my own, more modest, exploits in the jazz field.
Despite his choice of A-level science subjects with the aim of studying medicine, I always felt Mark was destined for a great career in music, and the outstanding body of work he has created is testament to his brilliant talent.
