Caligula Rock Garden London
In 1982 I joined this succesful  band, a place where I have learned a lot from pro guys like Adi Ordean - guitar, Liviu Tudan -bass and composer, Florin Ochescu, Dorel Vintile, Liviu Hriscu - drums.
We played from rock,  country to heavier stuff and new wave.
In August 1984 in Dresden we took the First Prize in an international competition. And a lot of tours in good ol' Russia.
After working as a session musician in the London studios in 1994 I started playing with Caligula, a band from Eastborne, UK. Very interesting original music, a bit heavy, a bit alternative. We toured some places in the UK and the Rock Garden in London. Simon - keyboards, Gazza - programming, Darren - vocals and me - guitars.
