Patrick Adam’s interest in music
and singing began in his early teens, performing and harmonising
with his cousin ‘Big Bruce’ at various local school
and church halls.
Years later, when studying for a BA Design Degree at Art
College, he began regular weekend performances with a 12 piece
band in Manchester, singing the ‘top twenty hits’
of the week. He shared a ‘London Palladium’ style
revolving stage with top acts such as Billy Fury and PJ Proby.
Patrick was contacted by
talent scouts from London and he soon signed with RCA Records
as a solo recording artist.
Patrick moved to swinging King’s Road, Chelsea and began
writing and recording his own material for several single
releases, TV and Radio adverts and Radio 2 ‘Night Ride’
show.
After several years writing, recording and performing Patrick
began working as a freelance audio visual consultant on various
design projects. This led to him becoming Design and Interpretation
Manager for English Heritage. He won seven awards for their
visitor attractions.

Music and songwriting was always paramount in Patrick’s
life, and it was whilst writing songs for young children and
their daily activities that he met Mike Payne and found a
kindred spirit.
