A powerful, passionate vocalist, Mark also plays a pretty mean harp, honest uncluttered slide and rhythm guitar,  and loves experimenting musically with other instruments and found objects. His many talents keep him in demand at studio sessions covering all types of roots music. Both in the studio and on stage he has played with or supported a great many artistes including Pinetop Perkins, Willie King, Kent DuChaine, Alison Moyet, Dr. Feelgood, Chris Jagger  (Mick's brother), Roy Wood, Ian Dench (EMF), Steve Gibbons, Mike D'Abo, Phil Beer (Rolling Stones session man), the Gutter Brothers, Richard Thompson, Australian blues maestro Mojo Webb, guitar legend Alvin Lee (at the Glastonbury Festival in 1994) and Chicago Blues legend Eddie C. Campbell. Over the years he has received critical acclaim for his vocal performance and songwriting which has been described as having "a quality and professionalism that sets it apart from so many" with an "assured melodic delivery and ability to constantly impress" (Rock 'n' Reel magazine). He writes songs across many styles both for the bands that he plays in and other performers.

Mark is currently writing songs for a solo project and can be seen 'test driving' them at various open mic nights around Gloucestershire, including the one he hosts every other Wednesday night at Cross Keys Inn in Gloucester. He's also out regularly playing with his blues duo/band Sons of the Delta and occasional gigs with his blues and soul band Maxwell Street.

Since Mark's first gig back in '82 he has treaded the boards countless times singing and playing blues and roots music with feeling, passion and conviction. In 1983 he formed Gloucestershire based blues band Maxwell Street, a band which still plays today having grown over the years from a four piece to a seven piece outfit. In the band's formative period, realising he could add something to the sound if he did more than sing, he started to teach himself slide guitar and harmonica by staying up until the early hours listening to the scratchy old vinyl albums of his favourite delta and chicago players and emulating them.

Over the years this totally self-taught approach has given Mark a down-home, undiluted style on guitar and harmonica which is reinforced by his choice of authentic vintage equipment. His stripped-down approach to music has over the years led to an understanding of the primal, raw, rhythmic force at the heart of all blues and roots musics. He is a great believer in the power that this emotional force has in music and uses a variety of old instruments and found objects to weave it into the foundations of his music.

In 1990 Mark formed the Dockery Boys. Once again Mark decided to expand instrumentally on what he brought to the band and taught himself piano accordion and cajun accordion. The band played a highly danceable brand of rootsy, rhythmic rock and by combining solid, guitar driven rhythms with fiddle, mandolin and accordion the Dockery Boys successfully bridged the gap between rock-pop and roots music. Numerous festival appearances included headlining the '94 Gloucester Docks Roots Festival and a prestigious slot at Glastonbury Festival '94 on the Acoustic Stage where they played a highly acclaimed set alongside Richard Thompson, Albert Lee and Allison Moyet. At Live '95 (a high profile showcase for hot talent) the Dockery Boys fought off nearly five hundred national bands to be voted one of the top ten new acts in the UK.  

The new century saw Mark teaming up with Rick Edwards to form Sons of the Delta in 2003, a highly respected two piece outfit which plays a no-nonsense blend of electric and acoustic blues - both traditional numbers and new originals. Their music also features occasional sidesteps into other American roots styles such as gospel, hillbilly, bluegrass, cajun and texmex. In '04 they released their debut album 'One For The Road' on the Blues Matters! record label and in October of that year the Sons visited Clarksdale, Mississippi for three weeks where they played at a number of clubs and juke joints including Morgan Freeman's club Ground Zero. The visit also included time in Jimbo Mathus's recording studio, Delta Recording, where they were joined by ‘Big T’ Williams, Eric 'Bassfingers' Lanier and Jeff Hayes plus legendary bluesmen Sam Carr and Pinetop Perkins.

The buzz they generated while they were in Mississippi is illustrated nicely by the story of when they ran into Steve LaVere, the manager of the Robert Johnson estate, in Greenwood - over an hour's drive south of where they were staying in Clarksdale. Mark & Rick were in the Robert Johnson museum when Steve walked in. Mark recognised Steve straight away and introduced himself and as soon as Steve heard the English accent he said "You must be the English guys that recorded up in Clarksdale - I've heard about you guys"! Mark returned to Clarksdale in April '05 to visit his friends there and to play at the Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival where he teamed up with Ottawa blues brothers, Mike 'Mossman' Myers and Steve Myers of the Quazimojo Blues Band. In 2006 the CD of the now legendary Mississippi recording was released as critically acclaimed album ‘Made In Mississippi’ on the Rawtone Records label.

In 2007 Mark spent three months in Brisbane, Australia where he met and played with many of the East coast's finest blues players, establishing himself on the scene and making many good friends. He is currently performing with Sons of the Delta, the Maxwell Street Blues Band and is working on a solo project.
