Okay as you probably can see this has not been updated for a while… I’ve been too busy putting my house back together after building work, and deluding myself that I can be a writer! Have a look at my stuff on Red Bubble if you don’t believe me!
I’ll get my ass into gear with some updates soon
Cheers
Micky
The Jinn tour is sorted: Channel tunnel tickets booked, van fixed,
driver ready and waiting, gigs arranged, Lp out, T-shirts done,
Newcastle top of the Premiership!
See you in Europe; let the sun shine, the beer flow, and the music be
fast, loud, and brutal as a kick in the nuts from a bull elephant!

Please forward this on.
One by One were born from the ashes of a quirky folky punk band called Anything But That.
When Anything But That split, Alec and I decided we wanted to do something with a harder edge… we couldn't think of anyone in Newcastle that we wanted to be in a band with, so we quite literally jumped in a car one Saturday morning and drove down to Leeds and door-stepped Sned.
That same day we got about six songs worked out in the cellar of Silly Ville and One By One was born.
It was never going to be easy as apart from there being a hundred miles between us, Sned was also drumming in Pleasant Valley Children as well.
What happened next:
We recorded a 7”, recorded a Peel Session, jumped in a van and toured Europe, I fell in love, we recorded an LP and Sned went off to live in New Zealand for 6 months.
On his return we recruited my beloved Karin on vocals, recorded a split LP which never came out, recorded a 7”, toured Europe a few times, went to the USA on the Hoover Free Flights offer, and did a very short East Coast tour, which saw us break down and have to cancel half the gigs, and played a live radio show. Came home, went round Europe again recorded an LP which never got released, and then split up.
Karin and I went on to form Ebola, we have two children together, and I still play guitar in Jinn.
Alec and Sned continued on with Health Hazard which morphed into Suffer, Sned then went on to do various things in Doom and Oi Polloi, before joining Sawn Off, which morphed into Boxed In, and morphed into War All The Time. Sned also drums in Threads.
