THE STORY SO FAR.
In 2001 I met a guy called Kurt Bainbridge.The first thing that went through my mind is that he had huge potential as a professional singer/performer. He was always singing at work and had quite a reputation as having a great voice.
Myself, well I had only just decided to start learning guitar, and at that time was never off it. Even in the middle of the night. Hence I improved quite rapidly.
Kurt and myself decided to get together and start making some music. All covers, Oasis, Paul Weller, George Michael.
One evening whilst pondering and playing with chords a song called ‘Every Single Minute’ was born. I had written my first song.
Kurt was impressed, and from that moment, we were to rehearse only our own music.
We called ourselves ‘Opaque’.
We’ve since had radio airplay, a tv spot. Local gigs and even a publishing and recording contract. The latter, unfortunately was thwarted.No reason given. After the initial excitement, came immediate despair and a sabatical for a few months. What do you do in those situations?
Kurt and myself are now back working hard on some new tracks together, and also myself as a solo. Opaque are still in business, plugging away, writing, performing and producing there own brand of Pure British Pop.
