Once upon a time…. (Skipping the boring “growing up” bit from 1957-1972) 1973. Schooldays were finally over and done, a summer holiday job secured and the first pay packet was blown on a cheap “K” nylon strung acoustic guitar. This guitar still occasionally makes an appearance during music videos. 1977-2015. An era of playing (on and off) in several bands during which more guitars, basses and synthesizers appeared and were used for gigging around the local music scene. However, it was in late 2015 around a campfire at a festival in Kent… A Bloke Called Maddy was eventually “born”.
