Early lifeHe originally studied at the London College of Printing as a graphic designer and had a highly successful career in illustrating books, but songwriting was his main ambition so he quit the advertising business and teamed up with a friend to write and perform music. Rod spent several years 'busking' in the south of France and playing in pubs and bars until an audition with his then wife Jane got him a job on a major children's TV show Rainbow. RainbowAs part of a trio with Matthew Corbett and Jane Tucker, their contribution to the show was to sing a song everyday using the theme of the day. These songs were recorded by Rod, Matt and Jane. Rod played banjo and guitar, Matt played guitar and bass and Jane played the keyboards. They had one song each per week. Rod excelled with his songwriting and wrote some memorable material. When Matthew left in 1976, he was replaced by Roger Walker (the group became Rod, Jane and Roger), he was then replaced by Freddy Marks (making the group's name Rod, Jane and Freddy).
