Rather than influences, I am more "inspired by":
The Jam. Paul Weller. The Chords. Ocean Colour Scene. The Christians. The Undertones. 79 Mod Revival Scene. U2. Big Country. Squeeze. Kieran Halpin. B52's. Ska. The Coral.The Clash. Elvis Costello. Ash. Badly Drawn Boy. Strangles. Oasis. Blur. Billy Bragg. The Smiths. Lightening Seeds. Northern Soul. Icicle Works. The La's and Cast.
I like "good" songs from good writers. Even now, I remain very much a "student" of music, as I am always learning, always developing,always growing and always changing.

Many years ago, I used to front REACTION.
Reaction was a four-piece Mod/Powerpop band from Burton on Trent.
Although, never signed, we did get to support some great bands – Including THE JAM, SECRET AFFAIR, THE RUTS, PURPLE HEARTS, FUN BOY THREE, DOLLY MIXTURES, THE QUESTIONS, BANANARAMA+ loads of others.
Recently I have been seen performing on BBC TV, Central ITV and also heard on National & local Radio stations with a song called Forever England.

My solo music now, can best be described (by me, anyway) as - "ACOUSTIC POWERPOP".
Although, happier song writing more than performing - with 70 gigs under my belt in 2008, I seem to have become increasing in demand and by the end of the last year, I appeared on TV (again!), performed on TWO live BBC Introducing Sessions AND supported excellent acts including:
IAN McNABB (ex Icicle Works),
KIERAN HALPIN,
3 DAFT MONKEYS,
THE JAM DRC,
THE STEVE GIBBONS BAND,
ACOUSTIC WHO,
THE TREVOR BURTON BAND &
DR FEELGOOD.
With fellow "Leo's" like those who share your birthday with, you are clearly destined for great things. Your journey to fame has begun.... and will succeed!

Hey Bruno, Great to see your back into the music and doing so well. I was just back in the UK a few weeks ago but didn't get your contact info until I was back in Fiji. Catch up next time. Unless your planning any trips to Fiji!!!???!!! Ciao Andy
Thanks for the kind comment Mr G. It is a (very) old song written in 1977 but kept under wraps until I was digging through some papers in the attic. It was originally a slide guitar piece, but since I cannot get a slide on my bent ring finger, the tuning was changed to suit my "disability". Ryan has done a marvellous job and most of the thanks must go to him and Adam Rock who did the stompin' and tambo shaking! Needs some more work, but it'll do for the WMF 2009.
Will be in touch soon with some more gigs for you at the WMF.
Hey how you doing? Thought we'd drop by and let you know that there's some new music up from singer Songwriter Matt Parsons on our profile. Hope you drop by and check them out. Cheers
