Worcester Music Forum

Who are you?
I am a tiny little speck of dust on the Worcester 'scene'. My name is Ricky.

What do you do?
I am part of a group of friends who like to put gigs on. We are known as Tea Break. I am in a new metal band. I have also been spending time in 'free spaces'. The most recent one was this weekend. The cause was for an independent art exhibition. Some of my photos were put up.

Do you enjoy your job?
Oh yeah! I work at a place called The Session. It's a place where bands come to practice, and we also have a studio where we record. We also do gigs, and the bosses are ace.

Are you one of these lucky people whose job is also their passion/hobby?
Can you tell?

Can you recommend a use for Worcestershire Sauce?
I think you could use it maybe as insect repellent? Go on - try it!

What do you think of the Worcester music scene at the moment?
Well... Tea Break are very DIY. All the money we make literally goes into the bands pockets, because they come from all over the place to play.

I dont even have a glass.

What do you think is the best thing to happen in the last 25 years?
The people in this world seem to be waking up and realizing what actually matters, realizing the beginnings of truths, that this world is corrupt, and that this waking up is going to lead to a big change.

What do you think is the worst thing to happen in the last 25 years?
There is so much bad **** going on man, global warming, climate change, then you get the arms industry and how ****ing stupid that is, you get retards like bush and blair. But the worst thing to have happened in the last 25 years, I think, is the buy me mentality of todays kids. They have no eyes outside of their material shells.

How many times in the past month have you thought "I wish I'd done that" or "I wish I'd thought of that"?
Once Id come home from Holland, and some friends stayed out there and went to a squatted village with a squatted church.. that sounds so weird man I wish Id done that.
