Why this name?
By combining the names of two continents. Europe and Africa.
Do you play live?
I have played live before but not performing these songs. That! I would really like to do.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives musicians a chance to get their music heard on a global scale, meet other artists, collaborate and make music. That's what it's all about!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That probably wont happen. I'm not being negative here, just realistic. I just wanna continue to enjoy making music.
Band History:
Metal Ryders of the Surf or was it Ryders of the Metal Surf. I forget LOL. A rock band playing our own tunes around Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire UK in the 1980's. Our claim to fame was having our gigs plugged by John Peel on his show.
The Nightshift, playing rock and blues in a sunny corner of Bedfordshire.
The 90's saw me forming a band with friends. "Handy" was a covers band, playing rock and blues.
My last band's name came from a Daffy Duck cartoon. "Chicken Inspectors".By far the most successful. At our busiest time we were playing four gigs a week as well as holding down our fulltime jobs. Our highlight was playing at the Bedfordshire Millennium Festival.

Anything else...?
I used to go and see a lot of bands in the late 70's and 80's at the Lyceum Ballroom in London. They'd have three or four bands in one night. Between the bands setting up the house DJ used to play beautiful dub. That's where I fell in love with the sound of the bass and decided to take it up.
