Brian "The Hat" Duckworth

My career started way back in the 70s in the UK, I started out working back stage as an Assistant at my local Rep Theatre where my love for the buisiness quickly blossomed. I spent the next couple of years touring around the UK working at various Theatres and gaining experience in the workings of shows achieving Stage Manager status. However it was not enough I wanted to be out there under the lights. I started by getting a Director friend of mine to give me small parts in plays and musicals. My stage Name back then was Brian Deane I thought it was better than my real surname Duckworth which i thought was to Long for the Posters lol. Vain I know but hey you have to be a bit quirky in this buisiness right. I then started singing in Local bars and clubs which gave me a whole new outlook of this satisfying, exhilerating and sometimes cruel buisiness that we love.. Likemost Artist's in this buisness I had to take other job's in between to help with raising a Family but the call of the stage was never far away. Then in 2003 at the Age of 51 divorced and a free Spirit I moved to Kos Island Greece and started to rekindle my career as a singer. Then in 2012 when the economic crisis hit Greece so I as forced to move again, this time with my new Austrian Soul mate Silvia we moved to my present Location in Austria and started all over again to build a new performing platform. i don't think I'm ever going to be a Star but hey the world is a whole lot different when your out there under the spotlight and long may I continue to enjoy it.
