Bruce Dugginson is a fantastic character and an outstanding singer, on his own part, let alone being a staggeringly good Bruce Dickinson.
You can see it’s in his blood to be up there on stage singing.

I first met him at JB’s in Dudley back in June of 2007. It was only my 2nd gig with Hi-on and I could tell within 4 seconds we were going get on like a house on fire, you just seem to click with some people straight away. He is the prime example of thinking you have known someone your whole life but really its been 7 minutes.

He then opened his mouth (steady on) and started singing, I’ve never heard a voice so powerful in my life! It had my arse-cheeks juggling about on my seat! And this was without a mic mind you!!

Our Mr. Dugginson is such a brilliant person to have around, there’s not a bad word to say about him. He has that extremely rare virtue of making you feel great within seconds if your ever feeling a bit lethargic or down, just by saying one phrase or even just a noise sometimes! You have no idea how much it can pick you up when someone is there making you laugh so much it hurts! At the end of the day what we do is suppose to be fun and he makes it that and more.

He is a pleasure to be around and to know on and off the stage, I think there would be a hell of a lot more dull days if he wasn’t gracing us with his presence. No one has me in hysterics as much as him. I couldn’t bear to imagine a gig without him, not just because you can’t top his vocal ability, EVER, but he is just simply one of a kind.

He is basically living proof that there ARE decent people in this world. This band seems to fit so well gigging or not gigging, were all just very good mates and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
