Mark first came to musical prominence in the early 1970's, taking the part of bass player Lord Longford in a Peers Of The Realm tribute band. When lead guitarist Lord 'Lucky' Lucan left suddenly, announcing that he was looking for a gig "anywhere without an extradition treaty", the band folded and Mark fell asleep for thirty years. He awoke in Beeston last year and was comforted by the fact that he was surrounded by men in seventies-style clothing. The men, who seemed to be stifling laughter, told him they were from a famous band called Moose Malloy and that he could be the bass player if he had no other plans. So Mark has been busily revising bass styles of the missing decades and has just got to the eighties. He can already do the swooping fretless 'bawooom' sound featured on Paul Young records really well and is now having a steel prosthetic thumb custom-made to help him nail the Level 42 'all slap, no notes' method.
