What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? Pete I come from a musical family and I had piano lessons from the age of seven until thirteen. I was playing classical music until I heard Iron Maiden. In fact, it was the song ‘Invaders’ off The Number of the Beast which changed my life, a sentence I reckon no one thought anyone would write. I loved the Smith and Murray combination and wanted to mimic that rather than continue the piano. So, much to my parent’s chagrin because they hated metal, I ditched the Piano and picked up the guitar. My Nan had given me £100 a few months earlier so I decided to user that and purchase a guitar as I knew my parents would never buy me one. My first guitar cost £95 and that included a distortion pedal, a chorus pedal, a curly lead and a book of chords, oh yeah, and a plectrum. If Invaders had not entered my life at that point, I’d probably still want to create but probably more in books and scripts.
