He joined Kim Salmon & The Surrealists on bass in ’95, and worked his way around the globe with Kim Salmon in: The Surrealists, The Business, The Scientists & Kim’s solo band.

Stu’s first album is “Devil & Daughter”. It excavates a deep well of sounds centred around nylon-string guitar and baritone voice.
