Born in 65 so way too young for any of the sixties stuff although I
remember the radio always being on in the kitchen.
I think the first music I truly remember was probably stuff like
the Rubettes / Mud / Glitter etc
As far as I know my first live gig was Andy Williams at
Scarborough Futurist theatre while on holiday there ..hmmmm
(We holidayed in Filey every year but I think my dad must have had
a pay rise that year and we celebrated by going 5 miles up the road)
But my whole world changed at about 10 or 11 years old when I
discovered some bloke called John Peel playing some weird and
wonderful stuff late at night.
Its a bit of a cliche these days but I truly was one of those
impressionable young kids under the bedsheets at night with my
headphones glued to my ears.
