  • Summary

  • In a heartwarming reunion, longtime pals and stalwarts of the DJA sax section, Mark turns the spotlight on Dean, unearthing a musical odyssey of hidden talents and cherished memories. With a bond forged since Dean's tender age of 11, these two comrades-in-arms regale us with a treasure trove of memories— from touring France, Germany and America to exploring unlikely attractions like a gas museum, all while narrowly escaping the brink of a band mutiny.

    Freshly discharged from the Army, Dean recounts his remarkable journey from tinkering with the piano as a wide-eyed youngster to mastering a multitude of instruments, culminating in his current role as the mastermind behind DJA's bookings. Amidst the anecdotes, they share tender recollections of Dean's late father, Pete, a revered figure amongst the DJA alumni whose legacy continues to shape Dean's path, even if it involved a notorious incident involving the band football in a German car park—a tale forever etched in the annals of DJA lore.
