Why Music?: Music has been my whole life, my Mum is a fantastic pianist, my Uncle was a piper even my Dad tried to play the fiddle. Our family were farm workers and I was born and raised on farms and we were pretty poor but we all loved music and we all had our own record player. When I was a kid my mates thought our house was weird 'cos my Mum had her opera albums blaring out downstairs, my Dad would often be in the kitchen listening to his pipe and drum music as well as his traditional Scottish folk, my eldest sister in her room blasting out Alice Cooper, beatles and stones, me with my Queen, Zep and Floyd and my other 2 sisters playing anything! lol It was all totally normal for me to have all this music blasting out
