Bill was born and bred in the east-end of London where he's well known around the Folk and Blues clubs, not just for his renditions of Blues classics but also for his own compositions in a surprisingly wide variety of genres; the Blues (of course), Rock n' Roll, Humour (as in his radio plays), and even Music Hall. In fact, whilst Bill won't own up to how many years he's been writing, he does admit to 14, as being the age when he penned his first song. Bill has recorded numerous albums, including 'Blues & Views', 'Red, White & Blues', and 'The French Can't Make Mangles Like We Can', as well as several singles including 'Canning Town Blues', which became something of an anthem at the West Ham football ground, where it enjoyed regular plays over the PA, to the delight of the crowd.
