Born to a British army sergeant-major and an Italian mother, Brian's journey from a small town in Dunston, Tyne and Wear to becoming a rock 'n' roll icon is nothing short of extraordinary.

A Dream Ignited

With unwavering determination, Brian embarked on a relentless pursuit of success, joining multiple bands and leaving a trail of unforgettable performances in his wake.

A Game-Changing Audition
