Bands

“I was quite active in Norwich bands in the 80s and early 90s before I moved to Asia. My first band
 were called The Innocent Bystanders around 1980...I played guitar for them. Next up were The Legend who
 later changed their name Rebel Truce who I played bass for around 1983. I then dusted off my Trumpet and
 moved to The Love Explosions in 1985, I then played bass again in Milk with Andy Hackett from The Explosions
 around 87ish before moving back onto trumpet and joining Streetlife circa 1988. Then back on the bass for
 This Big Idea in 1991 who became Activied circa 1992. I have been in a band here in Hong Kong for a couple of
 years, with a fellow Norwich City supporter called Richard Nicoll under the name The Last Guv’nors. I am playing
 bass and trumpet as well as singing and song writing. We released an album last year and are working on
 a new one right now. Check us out in Facebook.” RB 15/05/2020
