I hope you have enjoyed my electronic musings over the past couple of years..and a bit!! I thank you for the support.. take care all... and the best of luck to everyone in the coming year.
I first got into playing keyboards around 1982, I was inspired to do so after listening to ‘Upstairs at Eric’s’ by Yazoo, this album resulted in my first keyboard purchase, a Roland SH 101 synthesizer
After dabbling with this for a couple of years (1985) myself and two friends, purchased further instruments and eventually formed a band called ‘The Welcome Wagon’ rehearsing twice weekly in a local club.
This eventually grew into a six piece outfit including drummer and a backing singer, soon after recording a couple of tracks in a local studio we went back to the original line up of three (purchases another drum machine) we performed several gigs including one at The Riverside Club in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The line up being me on keyboards, Martin on Keyboards and Ian on vocals. Sadly, Martin passed away in 1999.
After that period I didn't seem to have time for anything musical and sold all of my gear. I got the urge again around the autumn of 99' as I had an unexpected amount of spare time on my hands (Don't ask) I purchased a Roland EG 101 synthesizer, a Yamaha RM 1X sequencer and a Yamaha SU 200 sampler.
In March 2003, I joined a Blondie Tribute Band (80's covers also) called Parallel Lines as the keyboard player... for this venture I again purchased new equipment, a Korg X5D Synthesizer and a Novation K Station Synthesizer, I also played guitar on a couple of tracks, we lasted for around 50 gigs and eventually called it a day in September 2005.
I now use Reason 4 for my recordings along with my Korg X5D synthesizer, the results of which are on this page...thanks for looking in, Paul
