Hi there. I first met Neil & Ced in 1974 at one of the great music pubs of North London, can’t even remember which one! They were keen to get a prog rock player of keyboards, and l was keen to be a keyboard player in a prog rock band! So l guess that we were made for each other. Got the job and that was me - 19 and at last a professional musician. Loved every last minute of it. And of course it meant that l moved to Berkhamsted on the edge of the Chilterns. And hey, some 35 years later we all still live within 5 miles of the place! And still playing in a band together....!

Whatever the reason - the amount of time that we’ve known each other, our individual characters - we click when we strap ourselves in and go for it, either on stage, in the recording studio or rehearsal studio.

And that, dear reader, is the front and end of it. The three of us argue about the most trivial things, but when we get to where we meet musically......you know the rest.

Answers on a (digital) postcard please......

Andy
