Bob was a lovely bloke, if he didn't show you his teeth
He had heard our music, liked it and wanted to play it on his show eventually. Our music had a country flavour to it. He was talked at for an hour though . Richard Whiteley just sat on his arse all night in a corner looking unapproachable. The singer and guitarist ended up ruining that recording. They managed to get so far up their own arses I thought they would never return. Wanted to do bits over and over again, changing things constantly, getting grumpy and ultimately falling out with the producer and recording company.
It was a brilliant time in my life as i played with Chris Helme from the Seahorses around that time too. Drumming was my life. But all good things come to an end. I left the band Wooden Horse because I couldn't be in the same room as the song writer without wanting to kill him. I then joined a very busy Queen tribute band and it all went down hill from there
I didn't like Queen very much and I liked them even less after being in that band for two years. Rock drumming is not my style. I always wanted to funk it up and get told off.
