Born in Nottingham in 1950, Terry first saw "Cream" in 1967 and formed his first band a week later. Jack Bruce was and remains his biggest influence. Terry was fortunate to obtain one of Jack´s Gibson EB3 bass guitars as used in "West, Bruce and Laing".

His first success was in the mid-seventies touring and recording three albums with "Dirty Tricks" followed by a stint with Ozzy Osbourne and playing alongside Nico McBain of Iron Maiden fame. In the eighties Terry toured and recorded with "Vardis", before joining with Kofi Baker (K.M.T.) and the sons of Jack Bruce, Malcolm and Joe.

More recently he has been recording with "The Outskirts of Infinity" and touring with the Led Zeppelin tribute band "Stairway To Zeppelin".

Lately he performed with Kofi Baker again, who opened up the shows for guitar hero Joe Satriani (a video clip can be seen on YouTube!). Terry lost his fight agains cancer on December 15, 2015.
