It was about 18 months ago and I was fed up playing with myself in my bedroom, as it were, so when I got a flyer through the door saying a new recording/rehearsal studio had opened up round the corner from me I thought I’d put a little advert up there asking if anyone wanted a rubbish guitarist for their band.

A few days later and BMX Bandit Tipp calls me up asking if I’d like to meet up with his guitaristless band and make some noise. I did and the rest, as they say, is a mystery. A few line-up changes down the road and we now have a decent sound our own PA and as long as I remember to mime Millie Vanilli style, we don’t sound half bad.

I guess the other thing to say is that I’m the person who put the website together, so should any of the others upset me you’ll know about it through this place.

Hopefully we’ll see lots of you at the many gigs we hope to be doing this summer and just so you know, I’m the one wearing the crap shirt.

Cheers to all you Normalettes,

Jimi Normal
