DSOTW debut: Ash Green Social Club, near Coventry (March 2000)

JOINING DSOTW: Steve and I originally played in a Pink Floyd tribute band in the late 90s and but after that split, we were both doing nothing band wise for a while until Steve called me to say that the Coventry band ‘Dark Side Of The Wall’ were looking for new bass and keyboard players. I was a little apprehensive about this as I knew they were a very accomplished tribute band but after a little persuasion by Steve we both headed off to Coventry for a rehearsal/audition with the band – only an hour into the rehearsal, the band announced that they would book a gig next month! Looked like we were in then! To date, Steve and I are now the longest serving members of DSOTW with well over 300 gigs under our belts and still going from strength to strength – long may this amazing band continue!
