I’m not sure how I got interested in WW2. Perhaps it was those tremendous black and white movies in the 60’s, that lit the blue touch paper.
Whatever it was, I was hooked early and that was it. I’m a real enthusiast now, been on many WW2 tours – and have a massive collection of books, videos and documentaries on all aspects of this astonishing period of history.
How I got into music, is considerably clearer. Four guys from Liverpool changed my life, as they did to so many in ’63 and later. They opened the door and I charged right through.
I saw the boys twice, ended up playing in a band and having the time of my life. I love my music. Still buy loads. Yes, buy. Not stream or download. I like to touch my music. It’s part of who I am…
I love a tale and a yarn. There’s real magic in both of them – and I have always been attracted, ever since I was a young boy. And now being down here in Cornwall, I have so many interesting new ones to investigate.
I find it fascinating to stumble on to something, then have a chance to fully research it, bring it to life and share it with others. It’s so much fun.
