I was first played a Faith Brothers track in 1985 because it referenced my home city, Portsmouth...it was Easter Parade of course! That's on one of my fave albums of all time.
I have that, all the material Billy has published online, a DVD of an FB gig that he recently tidied up from video I seem to remember, and all his solo CDs. All good and all keeping it real!

The Faith Brothers, Manchester Apollo, May 9th 1985, supporting The Alarm on The Absolute Tour.
One of the best gigs I ever attended.

First time I actually spoke to Billy was at an outdoor venue in Fulham 84 and he gave me a Country of the Blind t-shirt. Proudest moment was appearing on the b-side track of "That's Just The Way That It Is with Me" when a friend and myself were invited to a recording session. You might notice me, I'm one of the 7 or 8 clicking fingers on "A Different Kind of Wonderful". Also, Lee's face when the decision was made to include thigh slaps! Wonderful evening. Cheers Billy!
