I started off my entertainment career whilst still at school where I would regularly practice my singing behind the bikesheds! Upon leaving school I attained a national diploma in performing arts and bicycle mechanics at the Huddersfield Technical College. After college I tried my hand at a couple of proper jobs but found that it interfered with my drinking habits so became a musician. It was a great move as now I get to perform my two loves simultaneously, singing and drinking! (Sometimes at the same time)
Im hoping that through my singing career I can save enough money to buy a small brewery and retire. Should my singing career come to an end or I sober up I intend to fall back on my welding skills to sustain my bad habits. My long term ambition is to open up a chain of kebab shops but at the moment I'm filling my time by bastardising classic rock songs and ballads in a pub singer stylee!
P.S. Im not a real blonde!

Helen Marie has just programmed the "Showmagic" lighting system for the "Berlin Airshow" You can catch it at Flamborough later in the year.
Further to the purchase of crop growing land our supported charity will be recieving a brand spanking new playground courtesy of "Land Of Smiles". The playground will be built at the "Ban Nam Tham Chai" orphanage in Khao Lak, Thailand.
We will be compiling a CD of bastardised anthems which will be available very shortly
I started off my career as a drummer in a punk band, I was a shy lad in my youth and sitting at the back, out of the limelight posed a real challenge to the people spitting from the front! We recorded a few demos locally and drummed up quite a following amongst the homeless and long term mentally ill. I walked the percussion path for quite a while whilst pursuing "proper" jobs and can put my name to a multitude of mundane career opportunities that thankfully I sidestepped like builder, baker (no candlesticks I'm afraid) milkman, engineer, and window cleaner. I've built kit cars and I've driven cars through a car auction.......all riveting stuff. (Oh and I've been a riveter!)
It was only by fluke that I ended up swapping my drumsticks for a mic when a friend bought a studio and asked me to help him with it. We seriously bastardised "Angelo" by the "Brotherhood Of Man". Since that day I have trodden the boards in duo's trio's a couple of bands and I've also pursued a solo career. I also write and record my own compositions, usually when I'm drunk or depressed!. You can find me today working alongside reformed alcoholic "Helen Marie" in the clubs corporate and military circuit purveying classic rock to the masses!
I've also started writing my autobiography, its a work in progress but you can catch it here.......amongst other things.
