“There is no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
A Rainbow in the Dark”
Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010)
When I moved to Scotland with my family in the summer of 2012, I adopted my grandmother’s surname as my artistic name. She passed away a few days after we arrived in the United Kingdom. It was a new beginning in a new land where nobody knew me, so this was my homage to Ines María De la O.
Finding a band looking for a guitarist was difficult, as bands here work differently. It was when I read a post from Martin Patterson on Gumtree. He was looking for musicians to tribute to the life and work of Ronnie James Dio, who sadly passed in 2010 due to Cancer.
The band:
Tim Jarvis – Singer
Martin Patterson – Guitars
Graeme Fulton – Bass
Mark – Drums
