Biography.

Born and raised in his home city of Birmingham, England Delano took up the guitar in the 70's even though his first musical desires were towards playing the bass. Since the late 70's he has played in numerous bands on both guitar and bass covering styles from Jazz, Blues, Rock, Calypso and Reggae.

It was whilst working in a jazz big band with saxophonist James Renford that the got the opportunity to play guitar for Pato Banton and the Reggae Revolution on two tours in the USA.

The first was in Florida and the second covered most of the West Coast of America through California, Seattle, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, San Diego, Canada, Hawaii and culminated in a couple of shows where the band opened for Santana in the Bullring, Tijuana Mexico in March of that year. "This was a real buzz for me meeting Carlos Santana because he is one of my all time favourite guitarists and I learnt a great deal by listening to and picking out the parts on the Moonflower Album. That album is virtually worn out....
Touring was wonderful and an enlightening experience and the memories I will treasure for a lifetime. Who would have thought that my first professional tour would be out of the UK." Through touring I have met many good and interesting people some of whom have now become personal friends. We now keep in touch via email and phone calls.
I have appeared as guitarist on the CD by the award winning Steel Pan Jazz musician Jamma. He recorded the album "Barcelona/Pan in Flight in 1996". It is still available from Jamma direct from his web site as are other cd's he has produced. I also played guitar on the latest CD release by the Reggae Revolution Band called Ghetto Cry.
Currently I am in writing material for my own CD Album which will be my outlet for expressing my own music and bringing out some of the sounds I have absorbed during my musical life.
