Playing in bands

I really enjoy getting out and singing to people. Since I was in my early teens (a very long time ago) I've got out and sang to people. My brother Bobby and I used go sing together at home, then at school and my dad got us our first gig at the local labour party club.

I later started gigging solo and with my sister Margo. We loved to sing in harmony and started singing country and pop songs in the local pubs and clubs.

During the 1984 miners strike we were asked to play at a few fundraising dances and we joined up with a few music mates ti form the LimeLight dance band. Over the years we've played at hundreds of dances and weddings.

Now I'm busy writing recording and gigging solo and with my songwriting and recording band The Scattered Notes. And yes, we're heading to the top!
