BACKGROUND :
I was the Singer/songwriter for BRIK MARINE a moderately successful 80’s Leeds rock band. We headlined most pub/club rock venues in northern England, supported a few major bands and played down the bill at a couple of festivals. We reached the finals of a Battle of the bands competition, have a track on an EMI compilation album ‘Rock On’ ( I actually signed a contract with EMI ). Sold few records made no money packed in and went and did a proper job for 20 odd years.
ANGLO SAXON :
Like most people we think the London Bombings were a Watershed in our history. For my birthday in January 2006 my partner bought me a new guitar and all of a sudden these patriotic songs started coming out of us. She co-wrote the lyrics on ‘This is England’, ‘When Daddy' and 'Lest' we forget'.... Got in touch with a former band member who has a studio and an internet based record company ‘confidential records’ and ANGLO SAXON was born on 23rd of April 2006 (work it out).

Thank you very much Gary. It's great to hear such a strong and articulate message sung with such pride and no prejudice, exposing the latent menace and prejudice of those in the corridors of power that want to silence us and care nothing for our wellbeing. I had a listen to all your live tracks in your blog and I'm going to order your c.d right this minute. Absolutely smashing stuff! Keep up all the good work mate.
