About Me

Many years ago, Bruno used to front REACTION.Reaction was a four-piece Mod/Powerpop band from Burton on Trent. Although, never signed, they did get to support some great bands – Including THE JAM, SECRET AFFAIR, PURPLE HEARTS, FUN BOY THREE, DOLLY MIXTURES, THE QUESTIONS, BANANARAMA+ loads of others.More recently he has been seen performing on BBC TV, Central ITV and also heard on National & local Radio stations with a song called Forever England. www.brunogallone.com.
Bruno's solo music now, can best be described as - "ACOUSTIC POWERPOP". Although, happier song writing more than performing - with 40 gigs under his belt since Sept 2007, Bruno has become increasing in demand and by the end of 2008 will have supported excellent acts including: IAN McNABB (ex Icicle Works), KIERAN HALPIN, 3 DAFT MONKEYS, THE JAM DRC, THE STEVE GIBBONS BAND, ACOUSTIC WHO, THE TREVOR BURTON BAND, NEVILLE STAPLE (ex The Specials and Fun Boy Three) and DR FEELGOOD.

Sounds Like: Acoustic Power pop, a bit Lightening Seeds, a bit House martins... I don't know....one band criticised me of "talk singing"! Another said, "all you do is write is catchy tunes!!" Others say I sound “like a "real Brit” (at least I think they said Brit!) There’s no plans, no set style, no format - I just make it up as I going along…so, you'll have to make up your own minds!
