Nearly 12 years ago to the day, I was lucky enough to attend the 'Mad about music' exhibition in London. While I was walking around the many stands I noticed this guy, he kind of looked familiar. It was Noel Redding who played bass guitar for Jimi Hendrix. he was actually about to do a signing session there. He was nice enough to sign a couple of photos and had a very brief chat. he was so down to earth and could have easily have been one of my mates dads.

My main reason for attending the exhibition was to see an absolute idol of mine, Nuno Bettencourt. Some of you may know him from the band Extreme. They had a hit ballad in the 90s called More Than Words. I had been a massive fan of the band for years. I managed to get a ticket to an intimate gig he was doing after the exhibition. I stood right at the front and was amazed by his guitar playing but also the drummer, who turned out to be Mike Mangini (one hell of a drummer!!!).

Trawling through Youtube I have found videos from the exact show. Which are below......







After the show I went to a meet and greet with Nuno who was down to earth. He chatted to me and signed my photos. Normally its never a good idea to meet someone you really admire because in most of the cases you come away totally dissapointed.
As a bit of a Brucie Bonus Ive found an amazing performance by Nuno Bettencourt and the rest of Extreme at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert.


Please support this local band

As I mentioned before I have played in a variety of bands over the years. Above are photos of a couple of them. One of the bands I played in was called Bitch Bikini. The band was formed back in the early 90s and we played our own material. This was at a time when Guns and Roses were at their peak. The group comprised of brothers Steve and Tony (who were old primary school friends of mine) and various drummers and bass players over the years. I played bass for them for a short period of time. A few demos were recorded onto tape. I found tapes of old band practises and live performances. Over the years they had collected dust and had been chewed up by various tape players, so the quality isnt that great. Anyway, heres a brief glimpse into some of the stuff we did.

You may notice the name of the Myspace pages name is different to Bitch Bikini. 'Pimp Daddy' is actually a collective of friends who have come together over the years...this included members of the band Bitch Bikini. Hopefully I will upload more demos and live recordings of bands I have been in. Enjoy :)
