After decades as the proverbial semi-pro - a reckoning came when Dan’s young daughter asked him what he did for a living. As he found himself struggling to explain his admin job to a clear-eyed toddler, he realised it was time for a change.

Four years and one voluntary redundancy later, Dan - now a composer for film and theatre - loudly rings in a new era with his debut solo EP, “Mid Vice Crisis”, described by Village Voice journalist Lorne Behrman as a "dramatic and mythical glam-rock offering…recalling the majesty of Queen, Deep Purple, Rush and Led Zeppelin”.

Mid Vice Crisis was is performed live by The Lords Of MisRule - a motley assortment of musical ne'er do wells brought together to showcase the EP...but who are now morphing with ghastly inevitably into a creative force in their own right.
