I know for a fact that the Misterton piggy bank was not left in 2010 with a note saying "I'm afraid there is no money" but with an overflowing bank account. This was due to our ex clerk David Wright's expertise in the legal department in negotiating a tricky trail on the Packet Inn deal and further filling the coffers with cash that was used to subsidise the Termperance Hall and Victoria Institute's upkeep. All paid back when the Temperance Hall was sold, plus a big cut in the precept.
All despite the efforts of a small gang of people in Misterton who did their best to give him a rough time over his 11 years in Misterton. I could write their names down but they are not even worth the virtual space.
Well things have changed in his life. Going back to his early roots in music and after a lengthy absence he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. Since
forming a recording band, Riff Reign, almost a year ago, he's released an album
of his songs, and has been played on local radio stations, including Barnsley
FM, Dearne FM, Rother FM and Trax FM.
But, he and his fellow musicians have also hit the spot
further afield, getting considerable airplay on Croydon Radio. And now the band
is to guest on the station's Eclectic Avenue Show on Saturday 23 May, from 6 to
7 pm. Now playing music is one thing but writing it yourself is another and I forecast big bucks ahead for his bank account. I'm certainly gonner keep that letter I got from him in the distant past with his signature on!
All the songs from the album can be listened to on YouTube
or on the music page of the band's website: Riff Reign
I've got my favourite already. Well there you go, you heard it here first.
