Brian Houston
Hi My name is Brian Houston and this is my story so far..
I had played around Belfast for two or three years in bars and clubs with a band I was in called Mighty Fall. We’d tried hard to get a record deal coming close a few times but never quite getting to sign on the dotted line. To be honest it would have been nice to even see the line but that pleasure eluded us. By nineteen ninety two me and the final two members decided to call it quits and through 1993 I did next to no music.
Towards the end of ‘93 a friends brother lent the two of us hundred pounds to record a demo. Around that time a guy named David Grant saw me perform and asked me if it would be ok to write a play based on my songs. All of this was due to Jools Maxwell. He was the one pushing me to take risks and introducing me to his contacts. When the play toured in 1994 a DJ on a local radio station played one of my songs on his show in the middle of the night. Almost immediately people began calling the station requesting the song be played again and again.
