I have been in the music industry for most of my life as a musician, though I prefer
to think of myself as an entertainer.

During the last three years I have used more energy playing the part of Mick Jagger
(in a tribute band) than I have ever used at any other time in my music career.

When I first thought of portraying “Mick” I didn’t think it would be any big deal,
I could sing like him and felt at ease doing some of his movements, BUT, I found
I was running out of energy after going through just a few songs, how was I
going to do a two and a half hour show?

In order to play the part of Jagger I had to become an athlete just like him, I started
running most days and also practiced singing the Stones songs while running around the house pretending I was on stage.

One day a neighbour came to the front door after I’d been doing my Rolling Stones Tribute show, I had sweat running down my face and looked like I just climbed out of the washing machine.

‘Oh my God!’ she gasped, ‘are You alright? I said I was “fine, never felt better”.

For the last two years I have been drinking a healthy energy drink. When I go to do the Jagger tribute I throw a can of this energy drink in my bag and, 30 minutes before the performance I slam it down.

When we hit the stage I feel so excited and full of energy the audience can sense the
vitallity and ‘it’s Showtime’!
