Music

I spent four metal-fuelled years playing in RAAR. Highlights included supporting The Darkness, touring Texas, and opening the main stage at Gig On The Green for Jane’s Addiction and Slipknot. Headlining the T Break Tent at T In The Park, and filling it while Coldplay (boooooo!) were headlining the main stage was good. When Bruce Dickinson played us on his radio show, and wore a RAAR t-shirt backstage at Reading Festival 2005, I realised my life was complete.
