Stu met up with an old mate (Singer) Andy Morris and they started a biker band.
Andy asked Stu could he write a biker song, after a short time he came up with 'Two Wheel Gypsy',
The song was originally written with just a first and second verse having no third verse at the time.
Not long after, Stu wrote 'Ridin' and other songs and they where doing ok especially when a European bike club saw them playing and booked them to headline at their rally in Belgium.
They also learned that they had acquired a booking for second stage at Glastonbury.
However, this was to be short lived as not long after the good news Andy Morris was killed on his bike head-on with a taxi, he was given a bikers' funeral.
The band split up and Stu went to live in a tent for a couple of years in the mountains of Lake District to get away from it all.
After some years Stu finally wrote the third verse to 'Two Wheel Gypsy'.
What originally took about 20 minutes to write, took a few more years to find that elusive third verse, which came from a comment made on a TV program that gave him the idea. The weird thing is that he hadn't bothered much with the song since the band had split, or even attempted to write a third verse.
That same month he wrote three more verses to the song 'Ridin' (mentioned earlier) which originally had two.
After a long break, currently working on at least one more Biker song.
