Dan and Jones - Mind The Hedge

About Me

First met at school and then got to know each other better when in the same Maths resit class in the Sixth Form. Soon discovered an interest in many similar things and also found we were tuned to the same waveband creatively.
Dan introduced me to a group of his friends with whom he made ad-libbed amusing videos in the afternoons if nobody had any classes to go to. From these infamous video days came some memorable (if only for us) pieces of visual entertainment.
First started recording audio when we would go home at lunch times and overdub Doctor Who episodes onto incredibly poor quality tapes on an old fashioned mono tape player. The results didn't sound great but there was the beginnings of the ad-libbed humour which we would go on to develop over the course of the tapes we recorded together.
Subject matter on these tapes was varied to say the least. Some of it too near the knuckle at times but at its heart just absolute nonsense, showing up the ridiculousness of people, beliefs and life in general.
