Music Video Goes Global
Jeremy Harry Harris always wanted to be a musician. However, when he was younger his parents said he needed a job with prospects. He joined the army, but at 21-years-old, he had an accident during a parachute jump. My parachute failed to open correctly during a 330 metre descent. I fell to the ground too fast. I came down and hit my head and damaged my eye. Then followed two and a half years of rehabilitation. Jeremy Harry Harris - Singer Jeremy turned to his music and singing after losing his sight in one eye The accident meant Jeremy lost his sight in his right eye. Rather than dwell on what he'd lost, he felt this as a sign to throw his energy into something else. That meant returning to his first love of music and singing. Music video goes global Fast forward twenty-two years and Jeremy is now an accomplished musician and singer, touring America and South America several times over. Now at the age of 44 he's an award winner - securing a film festival award for his music video 'Shout Down the Silence.' Jeremy has toured globally as a singer and musician “You could say music became my therapy. My instrument of choice is the guitar and drums but in recent years I've moved across to singing,” he explains. Jeremy's first band 'Stone Circle' was very popular in Cuba and gathered a huge following there. He also formed an INXS tribute band called 'New Sensation' touring throughout Australia. While he never met Michael Hutchence he has been lucky enough to meet and perform for Sir Bob Geldof at his request.

Boomtown Rats Fly in to Shocktober Fest!
Oct 10, 2013 16:46 BST Boomtown Rats fly in to Shocktober Fest! The Boomtown Rats and Sir Bob Geldolf on lead vocals treated staff and zombies at Tulleys Farm Shocktober Fest Scream Park near Crawley, to a surprise personal concert today (Thursday) as they took to the halloween attraction’s WoodShock LIVE music stage as part of their pre tour rehearsals. The stage, that has already hosted The Animals & Friends at the Scream Park’s opening night on Saturday the 5th, provided the perfect acoustics and setting for the band before they embark on their 17 day UK tour. Some 27 years since their final show in Dublin in May ’86, The Boomtown Rats – Bob Geldof on vocals, Pete Briquette on bass, Simon Crowe on drums and Garry Roberts on guitar made good use of the Scream Park’s performance facilities. Frontman and lead vocalist Bob Geldof said “Tulleys Farm has been fantastic hosts and it’s a lot better here and a lot better than where we normally rehearse. It’s a bonus having the stage and being able to run through the set as much as we want. We’re looking forward to embarking on our UK tour but it’s a shame we can’t get to enjoy the haunts of the Shocktober Fest Scream Park first, maybe next year!” Launching the release of their new album ‘Classic Ratshits’ the tour kicks off in Ireland this Saturday the 12th and takes them across the length and breadth and the country. Delighting old and new Rats fans with well-known hits such as ‘I Don’t Like Monday’s’ and ‘Rat Trap’ (and many others) the boys will be working hard before they perform the last of their scheduled gigs in Aberdeen, Scotland on the 10th of November.
