craving to take in strays, cause she will bend over backward to help someone she can help. I have never met a person more deserving of success in my life. On the night I didn’t really play just for the BGT folks, but it was nice that they took notice this time. Funnily, the woman that was there did my last audition and said ‘no’. What are your thoughts on the music scene? The Doncaster music scene is a force to be reckoned with. I have been around and I’ve never seen anywhere with so much variety, but at the same time everyone is on the same page. No-one does it for money here. It literally is just about the music and making sure everyone is having a great time, and it really does show. I’m happy I stumbled upon it and got the chance to be part of it.
What are you working at working at the moment? I’ve just launched a Kick Starter to raise £500 to get my EP out there. In the next couple of weeks I’ll have four brand new original songs coming out to download online and a physical EP as well. The EP is called Bam Morgan. It’s going to be available on over 600 online music stores, such as iTunes, Spotify, Amazon - all that jazz - and the physical copies are mainly going to be with me when I play gigs. I’m trying to get a few gigs but not too many, just to let people know that this is happening. Once I can find some money to get the CDs copied I’ll be doing more gigs to get ‘em out there. I play at OTTO Wine Bar in Sprotbrough on the first Thursday of the month from 8pm.
I’ve heard you think your music is lucky… All my music is created by luck. There were so many tiny things that, if they happened a little differently, I wouldn’t have made the music I make, or any music for that matter - if I’d not seen the man with the cajon on the streets of Sheffield, if I’d not run away in the first place, if I’d only had £30 and couldn’t afford a guitar. It’s strange to think that if I’d had a bigger meal that day, I might not be a musician. End
