A Beautiful Idea

Auld anti social bloke, born in a tenement in Yoker, Glasgow in 1966. Learning to play the guitar from the age of 12, he struggled to afford strings when they broke, so learned to play many songs using only 2. Started a band with Lee Johnson, Michael Sanderson, Steven and Mark Wade circa 1981. Originally called Red Alert they changed the name to Lost Cause when an Oi band called Red Alert became slightly more famous. After several rehearsals but no gigs or recordings, he was kicked out of the band for wearing a Rush badge to a rehearsal. Unfortunately for the other members, as he was the only person who could actually play an instrument and who wrote all the music/lyrics, they folded soon after. Fast forward 40 years and a brief sojourn playing guitar in a 3 piece with no name, that folded due to his despotic character, A Beautiful Idea realised he didn't like people very much so decided to go solo, using synths. The World rejoiced.
