This article is mainly the work of two WP:SPAs, one of which has the same name as the subject. It has superficial referenciness but the sources are some combination of self-published, unreliable, directories, namechecks, or about the band (Savage Progress). That band toured as support to the Thompson Twins, but is hardly a household name. There are a couple of much people with this name, with a couple of legal types coming above the subject in the very limited number of Google hits. Another band he was in briefly, supported Big Country. I last saw them as second support to Queen. Overall, I don't see any evidence that this is an independently notable musician, and I see abundant evidence that this article is promotional. Guy (help! - typo?) 07:49, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: at the moment, I would probably lean to redirecting to Savage Progress, who did at least have some chart success in Europe, although I wouldn't object to a deletion on the grounds of WP:XY. I know the Thompson Twins are by far the biggest band the subject was in, but his involvement in that band was brief and several years before their fame and chart success, when they had a completely different line-up and sound. And the other two bands mentioned in the article, Uropa Lula and Drumsing, both have articles written by the same SPA, and neither look notable, with zero chart success or reliable sources that actually talk about the band instead or the people they worked with.
