Mark is the only geezer in the band to come from Iceland (other frozen food stores are available). He played the double bass from the age of 4 with the aid of a stool, but as he grew older he realised it was much easier to use his fingers.
He did a lot of nowhere gigs as the keyboard man in a rock ‘n’ ska band (well reggae to be precise) and also as drummer in various originals and covers bands.
His older brother bought ‘Can’t Buy A Thrill’ back in the day… and the rest as they say is geography.
