Volker Von Hoff

1981 -1983 : '21 Escapes' and 'Bamboo' with Paul Gardiner from 'Tubeway Army' - 1 EP on Beggars Banquet 1983 -1984 : 'Yip Yip Coyote' , managed by Miles Copeland on A&M Records - 2singles and 1album, all of which charted. 1984 -1985 : 'Fools Can Dance' with Simon Gallup of the 'Cure' - no releases. 1985 -1986: I spent in Toronto and New York recording and playing live a lot as this was the only way for me to make a living over there. 1987: after my return to London I had a very bad motorcycle accident which nearly meant the end to my drumming career. After a long recovery period, I slowly started playing again, going to endless auditions and playing with a number of 'no-name-bands' hoping for another deal. 1991: I met Alan T. Wells and joined his outfit 'Conzentration' which Huw later joined, and after one of Alan's legendary fits Huw and I decided to leave and work on his own material. After the tour with Huw late in 1994 to date I have played with a number of 'little' bands wondering whether to retire from it or not.
