The 15 year old East Lancs rock n roll runaway Mel Outsider absconded from school to spin the waltzer cars on the fairgrounds and walked the ponies for the travelling circus.
A love of adventure and the open road saw him move on to form Brit Blues rockers as vocalist for The Outsiders UK and complete a staggering 286 live gigs in 365 days in 1991.
The Outsiders UK released 4 albums and were a popular live group on the European circuit. The final album was critically acclaimed “Everything’s Gone Vintage” 2016.
