” I’ve been coming here for about 2 years every jam night!
I’ve been playing guitar for about 40 years. My mother bought me a guitar when I was about about six cause I was getting into trouble, actually I was getting into trouble at two but she waited till I was 6 and I really wanted to be a Beatle. I had 4 brothers and we played with broomsticks and tennis racquets for instruments. I was George!”
“We had this huge earthquake in 1967 in my town Westport in NZ and it devastated our town, killed 12 people, destroyed our school. My father put a little shed outside our house for us 4 boys to sleep in and I used to be Paul McCartney then but I cant stand Paul now. I used to lie in bed and hug my pillow and pretend it was George Harrisons wife.”
I asked Ken the thing he is most proud of in his life? ” My integrity and I’ve been with the same woman for 47 years now. I live in Lismore and I love the cosmopolitan aspect of Lismore, such a mixture of people and I just love it.”
“Wouldn’t it be good if my brothers see this, I miss them! We haven’t been in touch for many years.”
