Brief History

After a brief encounter with piano and guitar, Stuart discovered his talent for drums and percussion. Before long he was working in his home town of Barbados and was swiftly launched into the world of music recording with Generation Bridge who released single 'Bajan Rasta'. He started working as Cruise Ship entertainment in 1984 and continued 'drumming on the ocean wave' until 1993.

In 1994 Stuart joined 'Eden' an African Caribbean Highlife / Reggae band who toured Barbados, Guyana, St Vincent and other islands until 2003

Stuart and his family took the brave step to move and came to the UK in May 2004 where he worked with various bands in London, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas until joining forces with the Blue Cats in 2005.
