After that he started to tour with his own band often in the company of his wife vocalist Jeannie Lamb. As well as in the UK, he rapidly became a festival regular throughout Europe, USA, Canada and the Far East and after his third visit to Oz, he decided to make it his home, he now lives in Perth. He is visiting the UK for a short tour starting at JAGZ Club. He is joined on this gig by his wife, Jeannie Lamb, and his son Danny jnr. on bass.
