Before becoming a hypnotherapist Glenn made a living as a musician playing in pubs, clubs and restaurants. Glenn has also written many songs over the years, some have been published and some have won sums of money in major song writing competitions.
In his teens as a punk rocker Glenn played the bass in a band called The Vagrants who morphed into the Sugar Ray Five. In 1983 they won £10,000 in the BBC1 national Battle of the Bands. They were then signed to a major label, released a couple of singles and appeared on various TV shows, but alas their all too brief taste of success came and went like Haley’s Comet.
Later of Glenn and his former wife Alyson (a talented vocalist who was a member of The Anderson Sisters) began writing songs together soon after they met in the early 1990s. A few years later, they started performing together as a duo called Wishful Thinking, playing cover songs in clubs, pubs, hotels and restaurants. Towards the end of the ‘90s, they decided to move away from the covers circuit, so as to allow their creative song writing to flourish once more.
Glenn and Aly wrote and recorded many songs and had a number of successes in international song competitions, including third place in the 1996 Amnesty International song contest with Glenn’s song “Freedom, Hope and Liberty”. This went on to be released world-wide on an Amnesty International compilation CD. The Cork International song contest in 1997 saw them placed second with their original song “Teach our Children Well”. Both songs can be found on the Diviniti Demos album, Volume One.
“Transparency”, Glenn’s dance track came first in the dance category at the International Song of the Year competition in 2006. This song has since been signed up by Music in Head, an Italian dance music production company who have had many hits in Europe. Transparency has been re-mixed and four different versions are available on iTunes.
