Mark was born in the wilds of West Yorkshire and learned to play keyboards at the age of 9 and hasn't improved since.

Mark HaganJoining his first band at the age of 14, playing original material and rock covers of Led Zeppelin, Supertramp and Genesis.

It was however his love of electronic music and Gary Numan + Ultravox that set him on his way to a long and average musical career.


I have spent the last 25 years playing in various bands playing various genres and playing cabaret music to earn on honest crust. So basically I sold my soul for Rock n Roll & money to pay my bills.

I am truly 80's and do not apologise for that so anyone who likes synths and the 'proper 80's' feel free to listen and comment and buy 'plain buy' as I have a hungry, actually starving keyboard to feed!

I have worked as a staff nurse fo 16 years in a busy hospital in Leeds . I now play in a 4 piece cabaret band.

Mark and the Keyboards!My trek back into education in 1997 lasted 4 years at LMU in Leeds doing a Music Tech degree, well 1 year in uni and 3 years in the bar where most of my contacts were made “the old beer network!”.

I live with my wife and cat in a small flat in London , which half of is taken up with keyboards and gear.

Most recently I returned from 6 months in Mallorca performing to holiday markers & scrounging pints. Truly the Rock n' Roll lifestyle I craved as a kid!

The new album ‘Homecoming', is a collection of my material that I actually enjoy playing and writing. Not everyone's cup of tea, but its mine, and I hope a few others. Feel free to email me a chat about the music, the weather and price of beans, ta.

'Homecoming', has taken 3 years in putting together through various problems of working abroad and general living, oh and failing to find the holy grail, which took awhile too.

Other on-going projects include: Replicas, a Gary Numan tribute band, best and worst of the electo-maestro.
