For a little over 18 months I was in a Doncaster based band called Joe Lazarus.
Even though it wasn’t a very long stint in a band, it was my first real stage experience even though I wasn’t a very good bassist at that point!
It was a time when photos were taken on film. It was a time when it you wanted to see a photo straight away you had a Polaroid camera. Therefore there’s not a lot of photographs of us as a band.
It was in the time before I really wore leather in public.
We only recorded one full album – Stuff and sold around 150 copies in total.
They were so young and precious. I hope you gave at least one of them a big Looney hug.
I turned 25 the year after I joined them, so yes we were very young.
