About Me

I've got a job with no intrinsic value so live vicariously through songs and books. Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Nick Lowe, cornball country records and Elvis C are the touchstones. John Updike and Raymond Carver the authors.

I was born

In the 1960s

First Gig

First 'gig' was The New Seekers - as an 12 year old I had a bit of a 'thing' about Lyn Paul, next up was Elton at Belle Vue in Manchester, after Elton my Bowie phase kicked in before seeing Mr Costello for the first time at Oldham Civic Hall and being hooked ever since.

Beatles or Stones

Beatles

Strange Fact

I've seen Elvis over 100 times - and I've loved nearly every one of them
