| "I was in a band
called Horse" Pygram recalls "It was a hard-rock band, but that finished about
18 months ago. I’ve started two new projects, one with Anthony Simcoe. Anthony’s
a songwriter. I also do a little jazz thing with my mates that I used to
play with 20 years ago. It’s mainly a compositional thing. We’ll be lucky
ever to do a show, which is a great regret, because I’m a performer. I love
to perform in front of an audience. Music is like theatre. I don’t think
you get the final magic until you’ve played a song in front of people."
-W. Pygram, SFX, December 2001

TOTAL FIRE BAND - A jazz band originally founded by cast members
of the TV show Fire - mid-90s -
"We had a band made up from cast members of Fire. Wayne Pygram, Spit, he's
a mad drummer! Andrew McKaige was on guitar and Liddy (Bella Albrecht, Sharon
Smart) would get up and sing songs. We also grabbed some of the crew that
were players and we just used to rage. We called ourselves the Total Fire
Band, and we played at the launch of the show and the break up party. It
blew the cobwebs away. You always miss music if you're a Rock 'n' Roller,
so that was a good buzz."
