About Me

And so it began. Started originally in 1968 as a three piece band which on the rare occasion stretched to a four piece,only ever performing at small venues.Comprising of the great Geoff Garrick on Lead guitar and myself on rhythm guitar and a portable salvation army harmonium.Drummers seemed to come and go and I have no recollection of even seeing a proper bass guitar,Vocals were shared because neither of us could sing that well(It slightly mattered in those days)we kept the volume on the microphone down to compensate .We went down pretty much like a pork pie at a Jewish wedding.On hindsight I think we where in the wrong place at the wrong time.I suppose you could call us flexible............Some chose to call us other things less printable.So what happened next?...??...Well in December of 1975 when Queen were riding high in the charts with Bohemian Rhapsody Geoff Decided to move to Leeds,(just because the Who did a big gig there)Where he formed a touring rock band where his polished guitar approach was put to good use, while I stayed in the deep south (Oxfordshire)performing at a few folk clubs doing my Bob Dylan impersonation with my acoustic guitar,capo and harmonica with harness.(I even got roped into doing covers of Dubliners songs one night and that was years before the Pogues.I suppose it was at that point on one fueled up(or pissed up) evening that the whole thing just fizzled out for me and I pretty much stopped playing altogether(in fact that particular guitar still has the same strings on it.Any artistic output from me came in the form of art or photography.We still see one another on the very rare occasion.I have a room at home which we call the piano room where I keep all of my musical instruments(some I dont even know what they are let alone how to play them) and a 12 track recorder.Geoff came down just over a year ago and we spent two days recording one of his songs ....a very enjoyable time was had by all.So this is basically a few songs of mine recorded in my little room.I wanted very much to keep the name Delucious Fogg alive and not let it slip from the out tray and gradually into the recycling bin.So it continues...........;(for now anyway)...........
