Chase Park Festival 2016! Music! So once again I’ve been caught-out with the procrastination bug! Dammit. Anyway, I am going to skip past many years of my music story as Chase Park Festival  2016 is the current highlight. What is it? Well, Chase Park Festival is Britain’s most inclusive festival. Fact! It is an event for people of all abilities and is the biggest open air event of its kind in the UK. I have been lucky enough to have attended 3 of these amazing musical shows – in a word, a FESTIVAL!!! Yip, right here in the North East! Am I excited about this? Without doubt. I know the organiser very well, what with being a (best) mate of mine for many years – Alistair McDonald – also music hound! Can I speak of experience? Yes! Below are brief blogs from previous festivals I have been to. You’ll notice a couple missing. Well, my sister chose a certain weekend to get married, can’t complain with that, and let’s say I had a bad one ( M

Music My Story I am / was, an engineer now with  multiple sclerosis  for company! One thing that has never changed for me within my life is my love for music! Decade I am now  38  and have been about for 5 decades believe or not!  70s 80s 90s 00s 10s Born ’78 but not quite big enough then for any opinion aged just 2! Hence no direct 70s music from me at this stage in this story!  So I’ll start with long-term memories from the 80s first ! Where did it all begin? I can to this day remember – honest! - listening to the Beach Boys through my Dad’s HUGE cans (earphones! Which were probably not that big at that time.) Surfin’ Safari etc. Good Vibrations took on a different meaning later for me, not knowing then my future career would have me dealing with vibrations! 30+ years later after its first release, Ghostbusters   – everyone knows the tune, don’t they – and I’ve still got the original 7” single, my very first piece of vinyl, whi
