Hi Guys & Gals Well, where do I start, Name: Alan Cooper.. Born: Yes!... Sex: Occasionally... Drink/Smoke: Yes/Yes Hobbies: Fishing, camping, Driving my 4x4 on the beach and of course Music. Achievements: Staying alive, Recording my songs and getting them released world wide.I started out with a musical family, Dad played a Banjo ukelele and sang gigs at the local pub and mum played the piano at home, so we used have a ball in the lounge room on weekends with a good old fashioned sing along . At that stage I didn’t play any instruments, however when I joined the army I met a guy who taught me a few chords on the geeeeetar and I haven’t looked back. Love music. After six weeks I had my first “paying” gig in a pub in Melbourne, got paid in Beer. But it was a start.Formed my first band in ‘76, a country rock outfit called Lighthouse Inc. toured Victoria and Tasmania extensively and had a ball, wrote “Scarlet Lady in ‘78 and finally recorded it 2002, it got me to #22 most played artist in Europe 2003. That was a blast. Moved up to Queensland in 1980 and started a Shoe repair business in Caloundra Qld. Which I still run today, It has kept me very busy all these years, but my first love is and always will be Music and playing to live audiences. since ‘80 apart from the shop I started doing solo gigs in all the pubs and clubs up here on the Sunshine Coast, from there I formed a few bands “Pete don’t Drink”, “Alz Timers” “Coopers Brew” “Frontline” to name a few, we played all types of music ranging from 50’s 60’s 70’s Rock’n’Roll to Blues, Country, Country Rock and so forth.Met a guy at a muso’s Jam at a place called Stooges, he played a pretty mean keyboard so I got him into my band and he would have to be my greatest muso mate, JASON KEMP is his name, He has gone on to much bigger and better things and the future is looking so cool for him, I wish him every success with his music, CRIKEY he deserves it.....
