I have formed a new band, Rufus Stone (translated into spanish; PIedra De Rufus) Myself Gary Farrell; singer/songwriter, lead guitar and vocals, Lional Sardeña; base guitar and vocals and Dave Diggle; drums and backing vocals. The name Rufus goes back to King William 1, his son was called Rufus and was killed by his cousin in a hunting accident but you can read all about Rufus if you go on the web and type rufus stone into google. It is also a place I used to drive passed and thought it would be a good name for a band. I have played and toured in some great places including the Middle East, Germany and the US with my former groups, Red Hot & Blue, Thick as Thieves and Poyester before finally moving to Spain about 5 years ago. You can catch me doing my solo gigs in many venues in and around the Torrevieja, La Marina and Santa Pola areas, I am well known for wearing a baseball cap you will always seen wearing one at my gigs. I just love playing live, the interaction you get with the audience is second to none. I have many musical influences dating back to the 50's and love the Beatles songs maybe because of my Liverpool connection! I have two CDs out at the moment ..Stop Over.. all music and lyrics written and recorded by myself and an acoustic guitar CD ..Hear I Am.. full of brilliant cover versions. The biggest buzz you can get is when you are recording your own songs, seeing the finished article and then unwrapping the CD and playing it for the very first time.
