The first record I ever owned, and therefore the most important, was DAVID BOWIE's "THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST & THE SPIDERS FROM MARS".

Little did I know it then, but it was the record that was to influence my whole career - without it I may never have developed my love of music and taken the career path that I ultimately did. For that then I have to thank my Dad who bought me the album, and then ALLADIN SANE a few months later. My love of Bowie began at that point. "Ziggy" is still one of my all time favourite albums and classic tracks such as 5 Years, Starman, Suffragette City and Rock n Roll Suicide still stand up after a life time of playing.
