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 have a break from things & get his head together.
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.
"I hope you like the songs & ride safe!"
