Live Aid and Me

In this short episode of Offbeat, Paul Hose reflects on a defining moment from his childhood: his inspiration to take up drumming after watching Roger Taylor perform with Queen at Live Aid in 1985. At just ten years old, Paul was struck by the sight of Roger Taylor’s drum kit—described by Paul as looking "like some kind of spaceship"—and the sheer power and freedom emanating from those drum fills . This episode is more than nostalgia—it's a testament to the power of live music and the life-changing spark a single performance can provide. Whether you're a fan, parent, teacher, or budding musician, Paul’s story reminds us how inspiration can strike at any age and from any moment. Tune in to discover how a ten‑year‑old's dream led to a lifetime behind the kit. Offbeat with Paul Hose is your backstage pass to the heartfelt, funny, and revealing stories behind the music.
