Didn't have much choice really - it's my name!!

I've played pubs and clubs around Lancashire in the 80s and Cambridgeshire/Suffolk in the 90s and 00s. Not gigging at present but trying to put another band together - there's no feeling like it!

It gives everyone the chance to get their music heard - there's a lot of good stuff out there that deserves to heard but wouldn't without the internet.

Yes, but like most people here, the terms would have to be right...

I started in a metal band called Omen in the 80s up in Lancashire. Played a lot of gigs over 4 years before we went our separate ways. Moved to the Cambridge area and joined Beyond This Place but this only lasted a year. Formed Renegade, an originals rock band in the early 90s and gigged and recorded for around 5 years. Had a two year break then joined Hope & Glory, a Cambridge based originals and classic rock covers band. We played a lot of gigs around East Anglia until the band split 3 years later. Had another break to re-record and master the Renegade CD that was never finished, then started Bridge Too Far, a Suffolk based band. Played two gigs before good old musical differences hit the band. While the band's on hold I thought I'd do my own thing....

Ritchie Blackmore was my first and main reason for picking up the guitar.

Jan Cyrka
Dave Gilmour
