Born in Sheffield in 1950, Bill joined the army at the age of fifteen and a half. He joined The Parachute Regiment as a musician and enjoyed many overseas postings, with tours in Northern Ireland, France, Cyprus, Kenya, Iran, Bermuda and the USA. He also attended The Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall. He culminated his army career in 1977 as an instructor at the regiment's depot.
Bill is now retired, lives with his wife of fifty-one years, and continues to grapple with his rogue gene.
