[1] Before Hawkwind, Mr Dibs played in two underground space rock bands, Krel and Spacehead.

Dibs became a member of the Hawkwind road crew in 1997, where he remained for a decade, often guesting onstage reciting poems.

Subsequently, Dibs's role shifted to more of a frontman role at live shows, owing to Dave Brock's preference against taking centre stage, with him sharing lead vocals with Brock, as well as cello, bass, audio generator and baritone guitar.

The band went into the studio after the 2017 tour and recorded acoustic versions of songs which appear on this LP which were subsequently given to Mike Batt for the 'Road to Utopia' album.

Dibs was guest bassist for Evil Blizzard and played cello on two tracks on their Worst Show On Earth album.

28 October 2018 – Dibs announced on Facebook that he had joined the band Evil Blizzard in the guise of Mr Freshcrawl.

Mr Dibs wrote tracks and contributed vocals, bass, and audio generator to the 2023 release Space and 2024's Relativity.
