Music

The Piccadilly Pentamerous Peach Fuzz Band was the first music group I played in at the Hootenanny event in the late 60s. Many years later, I met Bill Martin, singer, songwriter and musician, and played and sang in groups with him and many other artists such as Swing-a-Nova big band. We started playing together in the 90s and formed the bands Out Of Nice and later The Purple Martins (who have recently cut a CD.) You can find some of our songs on YouTube at @georgesshorts.
