Five minute free write: Prompt; MUSIC

Like almost everyone else I’ve always loved music and it has seen me through some of the most difficult patches in my life.

The radio was always on in our house, to cover the noise of my parents arguing I think, and my father always sang along. The first song I remember him singing was the Beatles, ‘Yesterday.’ Not understanding that it was a song, I thought he was singing his life and I remember worrying that perhaps I was the source of his troubles….yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay.

This was the 1960s when record players were not common, in fact, I remember us getting our first record player in the 1970s and our first single which was Jim Reeves singing ‘But you love me daddy’ which we played morning noon and night.

I started a punk band when I was in school and we played around Ireland for a few years which was enormous fun. We were legends in our own lunchtime and the height of our fame was supporting The Outcasts at Dublin’s premier music venue, McGonagles.
Here is our entry in the Irish Punk and New wave Discography......just so you're aware what an illustrious personage I really am.
