"Watching the Office reminded me of a real documentary series that
aired on BBC2 in the 90's called Present Imperfect. One show was
called For better or worse and was about this drummer called Figgy Fox
and his band (The Figgy Fox Banned) - the show was a classic, a bit
like a real life version of Spinal Tap or Bad News."

performing both covers and original material for several local bands,

this time he wrote the theme tune, 'Jackie', for a BBC2 documentary
'Present Imperfect'. The song reached
No .1 in the UK. Demo chart. Later that year he was invited to play
guitar in the production of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' to a capacity
audience at the Ipswich Corn Exchange. All proceeds went to the 'Save
the Children' charity. He then joined Bedouin....  "
