Rob's likes to play and not just music though that is absolutely a key passion. Living on a small holding, he now is expert on why solar power is not the entire solution to world energy, but does now possess a small tractor of his very own. He claims he is slightly deaf hence having to play loud and can often be found craftily moving the dial up during performances as "he can't hear"! His Kazoo work is legendary and if you are lucky you may actually one day hear this instrument which will leave an indelible imprint.......

Rob seen here in the practice room, miming to playing a guitar as he forgot to do his homework... again!
