Bit about my musical past. After moving back from living in Hungary as a kid, started playing drums and after playing in numerous smaller bands, got a gig playing with The Gunslingers. We toured the UK and played numerous festivals in Europe over the period i was with them, supporting the Quireboys (or Queerboys as they were known before they made it). Played in a band called Ritual on and off for many years with Re Bethe and Phil Mason. In between all this i joined a band called D Rose fronted by a madman called Tony Rocker. Did numerous gigs and radio stuff with them before moving on from that project.
Moved into being a technician for various bands and toured the world with the likes of Bill Bruford's Earthworks, Uriah Heep, Nazareth, Girlschool, Stiff Little Fingers. Got fed up with working for these bands only because i'm a frustrated artist lol so put together Mortice. I needed a song writing partner and after numerous beers, managed to persuade Billy Rankin (former axeman with Nazareth, Alex Harvey Band) to come on board and Mortice was born. The vocal addition of Bernie Shaw (vocalist with Uriah Heep) has only enhanced the project, plus he didn't need as much beer to convince.
The album "Mayhem" came into being, featuring twelve tracks written by John O'Leary, Billy Rankin and Bernie Shaw.
Moving along onto the new album "In For The Kill", featuring session axeman, Matt Love who helped write some of the tunes for the album. Mortice is still alive and kicking and hopefully will do so for some time to come :)
Thanx for your birthdaywishes - had a very good one as I've been in London for 5 gigs and 2 musicals. Uriah Heep will play Austria next week and I hope to catch 3 gigs!
