A chain of events briefly, Ten years ago cycled London to Paris. Met some wonderful people, cycled Route 66 in America, raised a few quid for charity. Broke finger in 3 places playing for the Vees! Had 3 weeks off work wrote a book about Route 66.
Thanks Sue and the team for this opportunity to talk about things I do. I’ve tried a lot of things, I’m always having a go, I might not be very good at them all but it’s fun trying isn’t it? I’ve always loved music from a very young age, discovering a new band at the local record shop or dancing away at an all nighter or just listening to the radio all day at work. I’m a bricklayer by trade and I am fortunate to work for our family business creating beautiful gardens and a bit of extension work. We’re always busy at work…too busy! So the music, here’s the thing. I played in bands in the 80’s and 90’s, had children and my priorities changed so gave up for twenty odd years.
Interviewed at radio stations, ended up with a show on Radio Verulam (cheers Denise Parsons for training and Dave Ellis for the belief) Wrote a short story book, had an evening at Waterstones promoting and talking about it. Wrote a song about my Dad when he passed away. Encouraged by my friends and family formed a band,Sko-mads wrote an album, got a deal with Nub music who released it digitally worldwide. I was frontman and a tad of guitar. Played a reunion gig with Terminal Twist, Released an album recorded 26 years ago. I played drums with them.
