Alan later went on to make singles and an album under his own name with various record labels, his last single, "Over The Rainbow" (a reggae version of the Judy Garland hit) gave him minor chart success in early 1994.

1995 was a busy year for Alan in the recording studio. He recorded the song featured on the hard hitting and thought provoking Railtrack safety video "Short Cut" which had it's national premiere on 30th Aug 1995.

He also devised his own safety initiative called Rodney Rooster which hopefully is going to be a national campaign for child safety - not only road safety, but also "stranger danger". Alan works alongside the police, appearing at schools, hospitals etc. dressed as Rodney Rooster, teaching children how to be safe.

Alan has recorded "The Rodney Rooster Song", which he co-wrote with his friend and song-writing partner Paul Marshall. Alan has co-written with Paul and recorded an album of ten songs called "What's Around The Corner", which will be released in the near future.

Over the years Alan has broadcast live and pre-recorded on Radio 1 and Radio 2, and has had his records played on most of the radio stations nationally and has appeared on television. As well as being an accomplished musician, Alan is quite well-known as an actor, having appeared in plays and series for many UK TV Companies, such as "Coronation Street", "Emmerdale" and many others.

Alan has appeared in many countries and has had major chart successes in most countries in the world, including America. He has also performed for Royalty, Heads of State and Film Stars. He has also sung with many of the top big bands; and something he is very proud of was when he sang with the Viennese Symphony Orchestra in Vienna.

Alan says he feels very fortunate that his versatility allows him to sing most types of material, from ballads to heavy rock, and after all these years still looks forward to and enjoys performing live.
