The Soft
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Active approximately between 1974-2007.
But not quite done yet.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. During the 1980s.
But generally, I have not been much of a fan of performing live. But I have had many special moments, not least being able to know and work with some of my favourite musicians in the world.
