The 1981 Listening Post - Roy Sundholm - East to West

 Roy Sundholm - East to West



#662

1981 Housekeeping

Roy Sundholm

East to West

Genre: Second Rate Martin Briley

3.25 out of 5



Highlights:

Hearts on Fire




There are two Roy Sundholm accounts on Facebook. One is the Proprietor at Hotel Iona Torquay The English Riviera. The other is Underwater explorer at Lord Roy Sub Aqua Travel.
But that’s deceptive cuz they are both the same guy. 

Apparently, Roy WAS the proprietor of the Hotel and THEN retired to do the undersea scuba thing. He lists the rest of his bio on that page as 

Former Recording Artist at Ensign Record

Former Future Star at Stiff Records

Former Bass Guitar and Stella Artios at The Ratbites from Hell.

Since that’s the same guy, he also was a player in the Spencer Davis Group.

I wanna know more, Roy. 

I can hear what execs might have thought was promise but there’s not enough there. 

A lot of crunchy rock songs, a bit of a whiny rock yell-singing, tons of synths for colour but it all kind of comes across as auditioning songs for the Miami Vice soundtrack, only not good enough to get there. 

Roy posts pictures of Torquay, he rides a motorcycle and, I think, he’s got a couple strapping young lads for offspring. 

It looks like Roy’s life turned out just fine.
