During this time, he joined a travelling circus band led by American trumpeter [[Steve Francovich]] and also several show bands like [[The Boppers]] playing mainly in Stockholm, Gotenburg, Sundsval and Linkoping. After a stint in Norway, he came back to Malta where he met and started performing with musicians like [[Paul Giordemaina]], [[Victor Schembri]] and [[Charles 'City' Gatt]]. This led to a period of intense training where he developed his style of playing and performing for fifteen years at the renowned [[BJ's Jazz Club]].
