Since childhood, Fuzz has had two passions: older motor vehicles, and music. A combination of both interests forms the core of the TV presenter, musician and classic car expert's current career. His mother won a Vauxhall Chevette in a national newspaper competition when Fuzz was ten; and having never learned to drive, she instead opted to take the prize in cash: setting off for central Birmingham by bus on 30 December 1975, they returned home by taxi, complete with a drum kit, Fuzz's promised treat from the windfall. Lessons soon started with local jazz legend, Al' Reed, who just happened to live in the same street; Fuzz's stage debut was made in March 1977, aged just 12. Bands came and went and by the end of the '70s, Fuzz had graduated to playing in club and college bands, sometimes arriving back from shows and heading straight into school from the band's van. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fuzz Townshend」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
