Former and the founder member, lead singer, bass player and song writer of Reaction.


Although they were never signed, they supported some excellent bands – including The Jam, The Ruts, Fun Boy Three, and Bananarama - playing at venues like London Rainbow, Hammersmith Palais, Birmingham Barrel Organ, Dingwalls and the Marquee.
When Reaction split up Bruno formed and performed in two other bands, 2nd Phase and The Gift, before becoming too disillusioned, and decided in 1985 to hang up his guitar.
Following a surprise gift from his wife two years ago of an acoustic guitar, Bruno started writing again.


Forever England

In 2006 Bruno wrote and recorded a song called Forever England, with the intention of persuading a major act/artist to record it and release it for the World Cup.
Undeterred by the countless rejections, Bruno got BBC Radio 5 Live to play it, and this had a domino effect which resulted press coverage, further national radio play on Talksport, then on local stations of BBC Radio Derby, BBC Hereford & Worcester and BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
He then performed the song on BBC Midlands Today and on Central ITV.


Bruno has continued writing and surprisingly, even to himself, he started to perform live again - with his own blend of acoustic power pop.
His style has been described as a cross between The Housemartins/Billy Bragg/The Lightning Seeds.
The most frequent comments about his music are that it is very lyrical, very British, down to earth and honest.
Bruno says: "My main intention has been to re-build a profile and gain credibility back in the music business, so people will take my song writing seriously and maybe, fingers crossed, work with a publishing house or producer to write for other artist."
With now 40 solo performances under his belt since September 2007, Bruno has another 14 booked for the first half of the year, with more to be added.


Bruno says: "It's been great, as a solo act. I've already met and played with some excellent local artist and bands, and recently supported some great acts like Ian McNabb (ex Icicle Works) , Dr Feelgood, Steve Gibbons Band,
Kieran Halpin, 3 Daft Monkeys, Acoustic Who & The Jamm (UK number 1 tribute act)."
