Skellern attended Derby Grammar School (now Derby High School) and studied piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.[2] He later joined pop groups called 'Harlem' and ' March Hare'.[2] Skellern played the organ at St Michaels church, Bolton during his early years[citation needed].

Skellern's first hit song was "You're a Lady" in 1972.

The record reached number three in the UK Singles Chart[3] and number 50 in the United States Billboard Hot 100.[4] He followed this three years later with "Hold On To Love" which reached number 14 in the UK chart.

 He also sang the theme song to the musical, Billy Liar.

 For three years in the 1970s he worked on BBC Radio 4's Stop The Week, writing topical songs.[2]

In 1978 Skellern also had a minor hit with "Love is the Sweetest Thing" (which featured backing by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band), winning the Music Trades Association award for best Middle Of The Road song.

In 1981 he wrote, composed and performed in a series of musical playlets for the BBC called Happy Endings. 

Two years later Skellern hosted the Private Lives television chat show. 

He wrote the lyrics for the song "One More Kiss, Dear", from the 1982 film, Blade Runner.  ( imo a dreadful view of a future world thus I never watch the whole..)

He also performed the theme song for the London Weekend Television programme Me And My Girl.[2]

In 1984 Skellern formed a group called Oasis with cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, and fellow singers Mary Hopkin and Bill Lovelady.[2]

 The group released a self-titled album in 1984 on the Warner Bros. Records label which earned a silver record. 

The group performed live on television but a planned concert tour was cancelled due to Mary Hopkin becoming ill. They assembled three times to record their music attempting to combine classical and popular music genres.

Now the evening has come to a close

And I've had my last dance with you

On to the empty streets we go

And it might be my last chance with you

So I might as well get it over

The things I have to say won't wait until another day

You're a lady, I'm a man, you're supposed to understand

How these things are often planned to be

You're romantic, I'm a fool, 

You're the teacher, I've come to school

Here I sit and hope that you'll love me

You're pure magic, unlock my chain

Nothing ventured nothing gained

And so I say with no restraint, be mine, be mine

Hard to answer I agree

But then I've got to know

I'm not asking you to marry me

Just a little love to show

Oh I know I could make you happy

So the things I have to say

Won't wait until another day

You're a lady I'm a man

You are suposed to understand

How these things are

Often planned to be

You're romantic, I'm a fool

You're the teacher, I've come to school

Here I sit and hope that you'll love me

You're pure magic, unlock my chain

Nothing ventured nothing gained

And so I say with no restraint, be mine, be mine
