Early band from Aylesbury was the “The Presence”, who played gigs with “Marillion” and “Ozric Tentacles” before relocation to London in 1987. Teamed up with singer/songwriter Jeanette Murphy to form “Image Wot Image?”. They played extensively around London and the South-east and also a collection of festivals, including The Harvest Festival in Wales where ex-Hawkwind Nik Turner guested on sax. Following “Image Wot Image?”, in 1997, Gregg went on to form “Paradise 9”, and also formed a sister band “Dreamfield” with songwriter/producer Poppy Gonzalez the following year. Dreamfield, released two CD singles, their first “Take Me With You”, was made Single Of The Month on the then GLR Saturday Breakfast Show, and their follow-up single “Christopher’s Dream” also received extensive radio airplay. “Dreamfield” then went onto performing and recording in America and Estonia. This band folded in 2005, although founding members Gregg and Poppy hope to release a closing CD featuring previously un-released recorded material. In June 2003, “Paradise 9” folded, only to return for a one-off charity gig in 2004. The line-up now featured Gregg and Andy McDonald, with Carl Sampson on drums. This one-off became a two-off…and so on..and basically the band resumed from there. In Sept’ 2006, Gregg played clarinet and space effects on “The Orchid Show”, a duet with Monty Oxymoron, keyboardist from “The Damned”, an improv piece performed over a photographic display by Tim Downton. They reprised this piece again in November 2008, this time also featuring Charlotte Glasson on flute and saw. In Nov’ 2006, he also played guest clarinet with the reformed “Nik Turner’s Inner City Unit”, He has also guested on clarinet & space fx's with various bands and artists including Jeanette Murphy, Mick Farron, Nik Turner Band, Inner City Unit and Space Ritual, That Legendary Wooden Lion, Whimwise, The Sumerian Kyngs, Bubbledubble, Aurora, and The Peyote Band.
