    Since 9-11, I've been touring the British unsigned music scene. 2009 saw the launch of my fourth CD, ‘Best Thing That’s Happened’ recorded with Graeme Duffin (Wet Wet Wet) and produced by Sandy Jones (Wet Wet Wet) and featuring guest performances from Yvonne Lyon, Gareth Davies-Jones and Dave Lyon. Style-wise, it’s acoustic folk-rock and was nominated Best Contemporary Album at the CBC media awards 2010.
    I lostmy Dad in the Twin Towers on 9/11. My songs challenge faith, politics and complacency and it's said they are delivered with a rough spirituality, brutal honesty and tested to be true.

    I've played at some of the finest acoustic venues and festivals in the UK including the MAC in Birmingham, The Norwich Arts Centre and The Lot in Edinburgh. I also sing with 1980’s hit makers After The Fire. … “The question remains that why have such artists as Rob never gained the exposure he sorely deserves? He certainly has the quality and talent to succeed; all he needs is that lucky break. This album could certainly be that break” …Maverick Magazine
