Born in Llangollen, North Wales in 1950, Terry has been making music since 1968. From 2 years old he lived in Belfast and then moved in 1971, to England and worked there as a teacher in and around Manchester where he also played in folk clubs, pubs and working men's clubs solo as well as with other musicians. Terry spent the summer of 1976 as a DJ and folk singer in Denmark. Since 1981, he has travelled and recorded extensively whilst working as an educator in Jamaica, El Salvador, Colombia, Turkey, Mauritius, Japan and Venezuela. He currently lives in Downpatrick.

In October 2009, after a period of musical inactivity, he recorded songs in Mauritius, and Cool Hand Records released the CDs 'Rain Songs', 'Broken Hearts', 'Sugar Cane Road' and the DVD 'Old Fashioned Cowboy.' This was followed by the release, in November 2013, of two CDs recorded in Japan: 'Relax Unwind' and 'Washed Away.' He digitally released the CD 'Sometimes' in July 2020.

Currently Terry is writing and recording new material as well as completing postproduction on several CD and live audio and video performances of recordings he made in Japan during October 2014 to June 2016.

This is Terry's first time performing at Down Arts Centre and we look forward to welcoming him to STUDIO NIGHTS for Songs & Stories on Thursday 7 March 2024.
