I taught Guy McKnight - singer of Brighton's physcobilly / indy-punk funsters The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster how to use the database at work about 11 years ago.
He was working as a temp there and we got on OK. One day he says to me that he was in a band and they were playing a gig on the weekend - do I fancy tagging along?

Yeah - go on then - and so I did. SOMEbody thought they were good - as they got signed that night.

Didn't see Guy for a while - until he eventually comes in to work after an unexplained absence of two weeks…

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS???" our manager screamed.

"Celebrating!" he said.

"GET OUT!!" yelled the manager.

"Well to be honest, I wasn't thinking of coming back at all." he explained. "see, I'm a ROCK STAR now!"

Is he back working there now?

being in a rock band is cool an all, but you can't underestimate the value of good database management
