This channel is now going to store some of my VERY early music, and when I say early I mean early. We are talking 1975 to 1980. I'd actually played in bands since 1970 but round about 1975 I managed to acquire a couple of guitars (no names), some effects, a keyboard which from memory was FARFISA and some recording equipment, including a AKAI sound-on-sound reel-to-reel which most of this stuff was recorded onto. All very basic and cheap stuff.

Pretty much everything is self-written and many are really just snippets. I did have more, a LOT more. As funds were tight i'd record from the Akai onto cassette and then over-write the reels so most of the stuff was on cassette. This was all well and good until the day the case containing virtually all my self-made music cassettes was stolen from my car. I was gutted, still am, there was some good stuff in there, all my complete stuff for sure. The stuff that appears here are mainly 'mucking about' songs, practice sessions if you will.

It's quite hard to listen to them now as I am again feeling bad about having lost all that material, even though it was over 30 years ago!

Not sure if anyone will ever stop by here, play any of this stuff and if they do they will likely think WTF! based on todays music .. but this was nearly 40 years ago now and was considered pretty good at the time.

Plan is if there is some stuff that I think people will like I will link it on facebook for my current pals to have a laugh at :)
