I was born in Bedlington in 1957. The son of a Miner, my dad stuck me
in Netherton Band at the tender age of 9 years! I couldn't get to
grips with what seemed to be rocket science so, instead of attending
practices, I would spend my bus fare on fags and go and play footie.
This was handy as I used my cornet as a goal post and the case as the
other goal post. Joined Pegswood in 1988, when I took up the Bass and had some great times in a very young band. As what seems to happen in Northumberland in the nineties, numbers dwindled so I joined Ashington in 1995 which in contrast to Pegswood were a very mature band to say the least. Fortunes change and at this time the band is flourishing under the guidance of Nigel who has attracted some good fresh blood and put bums on seats.I've got to say I'm loving every minute of practising, contests and the social side and the band is really pulling together as a unit. If you want to know what I look like see the front page and above, good looking or what! Please address any fan mail to, The looker on the Bass. Love, Keith.
