He was regularly seen in Film, TV, and performed in many of the top theatres in London's West End during the late 70's and early 80's. His big break came as Legs and Co was disbanded and Flick Colby one of the leading TV choreographers at the time formed a new dance troupe on Top of the Pops called ZOO.
