Firelight Song Lyrics

How did you get your first singing gig?

I had done very little vocal work in the early years, whist overseas as a young boy, I would play and sing at parties, functions for friends and family.
It was only when I moved to Brisbane in my later years I joined/formed a band called ‘Pacifica’ in the mid to late 90’s which at one point featured the one and only ‘Julie (JuJu) Minto’ on lead vocals.
Julie later left the band to pursue her own musical path which left us without a singer. The remaining members chose to continue and set out to find another lead vocalist, this was challenging so I agreed to fill in until we found someone.
The band met for rehearsals one afternoon and claimed they had found a singer, when i asked who? they exclaimed….You! I guess the rest is history.
