I love these threads.
Personally I have loads of influences
My love of easy listening comes from years of listtening to the radio of my mum and dad. My stepdad was a huge rock and roll teddy boy so Elvis, The Everley Brothers, Neil Sedaka, Del Shannon just trip off the tongue
My love of Northern Soul definately stems from a misspent youth at the local youth club leading to all nighters at various remote locations and the odd "bluey" or two. Led to me owning a Lambretta and getting into Ska
My love of the Beatles comes from playing my bessie friends parents collection when I was very young
My love of mid seventies Rock and Prog Rock stems from my old school friends collection of Queen, Pink Floyd and Monty Python albums. His brother was at uni so we used to borrow his new fangled stereo and record collection.
My love of 80's electronica stems from my Saturday nights fuelled by a weekly cash wage and boozy nights at Rock City in Nottingham.
My love of the Manchster music scene is a result of living up here, getting kids out of the way and starting to re-aquaint myself with the live music scene (thank you Jill xx)
Nowdays I have a 30gb mp3 player with over 6000 tracks and I take it everywhere.
In short I love music
